Hi TOGA,

I really don't agree with @Robert Vesco, i'm Swiss but I don't think that we are:

quote: the Swiss generally are simply a racist bunch!

My problem with Swiss is that they only accept people who speak fluent German (or at least B2 level), i'm from Ticino and I think that like me many "ticinesi" or "romand" would like to work for their national airline, but if you dont speak you can't even send your application!! I speak Italian, French, English, Spanish and Portuguese but it seems not enough!
Swiss Airline is racist in this aspect and this can not be compare to any other airline like TAP, Alitalia or Lufthansa.
TAP ask for Portuguese, Alitalia for Italian and Lufhtnasa for German and I completly agree with them, I do not complaine about it or treat them like racist because they ONLY ask for their national language but in Switzerland we have three official languages so at least if you speak one or two correctly why can't be take into consideration for being a Swiss pilot! That's absurd and complety wrong and unfair! Don't you agree?!
