Anchio sono italo-americano e ho fatto tutto il giro con il brevetto FAA a Roma con Civilavia. Ti scrivo in inglese che e' piu' facile anche per me.

I arrived here in '98 and had to convert my FAA ATP to an Italian commercial license, both written and practical exams. At that time you could be hired as an FO with only the CPL and I was lucky to be picked up by Air Dolomiti. Shortly after I upgraded to an ATPL and to captain. The situation has changed with the new JAA regs. It is absolutely impossible to be hired without a frozen (written) JAR ATPL, so in answer to your question your CV (resume') would probably be tossed. The hiring situation at the moment has stopped and probably will remain so until next spring at the earliest due to some shake up with the CRJ fleet and Lufthansa's plans.

If you want more info, feel free to email me personally at [email protected]

Take care and happy landings,

Darren
