Mitrosft, hello, just wandering, would you be happy to share cockpit with the foreigner, when qualified locals are offered co-pilot entry position changing from one company to another and having adequate experience to fly for Russian airlines?
Cheers
Hi Awl !
Industry says it needs 1500 flying jobs per year. Local schools graduate 160-200. Some ex-army boys were available as the Air force was shrinking, but now all reserves are gone and traffic still goes up.
I have few foreign friends (Dutch, German, Brits) working in Moscow last 15 years, they know more Russian f-words than I do . Mentality is very close so we blend easy into each other's culture.
