Hello everyone,
I'm brand new to this forum as of June 13th. As a matter of fact, I can't even remember how I stumbled upon the site! In any case, I was born in the UK and grew up in Canada. I'm flying for Air Canada Jazz, known to the public as Air Canada Express, which is the second largest airline in the country, next to the mainline Air Canada. We're the main regional carrier for Air Canada. I fly the CRJ200's and 900's to destinations throughout North America. Lately I've been gving some thought to renewing my British passport and getting my JAA ATPL. I'd like to see what opportunities are over on the other side of the Atlantic! I've been flying for well over 20 years and have good experience. Can anyone give me an idea of what things are like over that side? Ideally, I'd love to come over and fly with BA, but somehow I don't see that happening! I've also been thinking about applying to Virgin Atlantic. First things first, I have to renew my passport, then look into getting the JAA ATPL. I'm not exactly sure what the requirements are for someone who's been flying as long as I have. I imagine there would be some recognition of my current experience, but how much I have no idea! Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Cheers to all and fly safe!
