Luke raises a very good point. My European A330/320/1 airline has been recruiting on and off since 2006/07. I am not aware of any P2F people being successful in getting their foot in the door let alone being called for interview. The successful people were mostly 250 hour Oxford/Jerez recruits, some modular, experienced ones from FR, Aer Arran, Cityjet and a few Easy and other regional TP operators. All proper airlines with high standards of training. I believe it to be the same across the other national mainstream operators.

Go off to Eaglejet et al if you wish but mark my words you will spend the rest of your career going to and fro from each tinpot airline on temporary contract if your lucky. As soon as you get settled you will get shafted either by the contract agency, the local CAA wanting ex pats out or the airline itself. You will struggle to raise a mortgage in any civilised country as you will not be full time employed.

Sounds great, where do I sign?
