Study in Canada or Egypt?
I'm facing a dilemma and wanted some advice. I'm an Egyptian and Canadian citizen, and I want to get hired by EgyptAir as a pilot because it seems like they hire fresh graduates with little hours, train them, then start them off as first officers on their jets.
I was wondering if the best thing to do would be to enroll in flight college in Canada then convert my licenses or just enter the Egyptian Aviation Academy.
From what I understand the EAA does not place graduates in jobs directly with EgyptAir. How long does it take to get hired? In the current political turmoil, will it be tough o find a job, especially because I don't have any connections with other pilots in Egypt?
My plan after getting hired by EgyptAir is to work with them for a few years until I gain enough hours to work at a large airline back in Canada. However I heard that EgyptAir makes pilots sign with them under contract for 7 years. Is this correct?
