ClimbSequenceWill these companies require to speak Russian in order to work for them?
Cause in that case most CIS countries pilots will have advantage
Hi! I think it will be better to know Russian, because as a captain you have to solve many tsaks and problems with services, customs etc at the Russian's aerodromes. For example, the custom's procedures are absolutely different at the various aerodromes. It always makes me sad. There are three airports in Moscow and there are three different procedures! Also, it's hard to find good English speaking ATC beyond the European part of Russia (Norilsk, Novy Urengoy etc), and you may get some problems with situational awareness. Of course, some of the FO's are not fluent speakers, therefore be ready to fly in silence .
