What do you mean with a bad situation? I guess there never been more jobs available as today. You may have lot of problems in US with required permits.

Dboy.
Unless you have the legal right to live and work in the USA forget it, there are loads of jobs there, but it is virtually impossible to get in. I have worked there (flying) and tried the legal way to get the required authorization to make it long term, and it just cost me money,lots of it. Go and do the FAA certificates and increase your employment scope by being able to fly "N" reg machines in Europe.
B200, thanx fot your advice, but do you really think i will increase my chances in EU? Afterall i'm not sure that there are a lot of N biz jets in europe.

Dboy, There are enough operators in Europe and the Middle East that will accept an FAA ATP for crew positions, it is ICAO so they get it validated.
I just would not have it as my primary certificate if I didnt live in the US.
B200 ,Do you know a good source of charters or cargo flying N¨ registered aircraft in Europe. Where can I find them?
I have an FAA ATP certificate but ,like you ,I´ve been trying to get a sponsor in the US for an H1-B visa ,and that´s impossible.
So ,I´m looking anywhere else.
Thanks
If you are able to get a work permit what would be the kind of experience required to get onto biz jet types??
Just thought i'd jump on

Mita,
Most of the ones I have found have been airlines, I subscribe to a jobs forum so pick up stuff from there, NJME accept FAA ATPL it is just a case of right place right time. I will PM you in a few days.

Very difficult to say, depends on what you will accept, I started as a King-Air F/O with 450 hrs, but 300 was multi. You can look at the freight dog companies to start, lots fly Lear 25's and will look at you from about 500 hrs, in a year you will have 800 hrs jet time and will then be able to move up quickly, for Flexjet, Netjets etc you need about 2500+ but have a good life with them. There is alot of biz-jet flying there and alot of movement. Prospects are good.
B200Drvr ;Thanks a lot for your help.Please let me know if you find out any of them are hiring.. Also what jobs forum do you subscribe? So I can check it.
Again thank you
Thanks for that B200, thus far i've got just over 500 TT.
big help
