How hard is it for an American to get a job flying in IT? What rating would I have to get before applying?

I'd love to get a job flying at Volare (despite what some say about it). I have a friend that is a Flt Attn. with them and say they do have American pilots.

Thanks.....ASSFO

what you need to work here (and when i say here i mean the whole of the EU)is an EU passport (or work permit...meaning you have to marry an EU citizen) and a JAR licence if you wanna work as a pilot.
The latter you can get also in the US in some schools that offer JAR courses...as for the first...well if your friend at VLE is a good looking F/A work on it!!

Volare doesnt have any american pilot, and without a A320 rating it will be very difficult to get in there.

You should start working on one of the instructors or other important pilot there, and work on the F/As later.
