Does anybody out there know if there are any Beech 1900 operators based in Geneva or close to Geneva, if they need crew and where to find them.
I have 4000 hrs on ME turboprops, (3000 PIC) and 500 hrs on B1900, all PIC.Have a JAR member state licence as well as US CPL.
Thanx.

Be very careful about Rossair!! Sounds like you copied that paragraph straight out of their brochure. They have cash flow problems and most of their pilots don't get paid on time having to fight for money. Training is non-existent and aircraft are tacky. Go there at your own risk...

Hi there Zeke.
Yeah, I am quite familiar with Rossair but not really that interested in working for them, although a number of friends of mine do, and most of them seem to get payed on time. They don't have any planes in that part of the world anyway, although they do in Scandinavia.
The 1900 gives you the 350 ratings as well, so I am qualified on that one as well, so when you say lots of 350 work - where should I look?
Thanx again.

Hi there Chaps - since when does the 1900 rating cover you for the 350? I am rated on the 200, 300 and 1900 but still am not permitted to fly the 350. Also did individual ratings for each type. Please enlighten as I would love to fly the 350 as well. Thanks.

Under the new JAR FCL, the 1900 and 350 are the same type, and going from one to the other is a matter of a type differentiation course.
More or less.
