Swiss European Flow-through

[GrkPilot]

Would appreciate any help,

Was contacted in taking a position with Swiss European flying the AVRO 100.

My question is if direct entries that take the position will they be able to flow through to Swiss International and possibly fly or get on with the Airbus fleet?

Thanks!!

There has been little movement from the RJ to Airbus but that is due to change, with a more structured system being used for moving between fleets.

Not a bad time to join if you don't mind the long wait for the left seat.

I am considering of applying. But the job advert says that there is a chance of going to airbus.
personally I dont care about the plane I fly, but the upgrade should be sooner. As I remember I read that it takes as long as 8 years:\. Is that for real??!!!:eek:

what about the fo pay. Is the one mentioned on the ppjn corect?
What is the difference between FO and SFO.
And the roaster at swiss?

cheers,

Thanks for the reply guys,

I am NON-GERMAN speaking, don't know if this will be a problem to flow through to SWISS INTERNATIONAL ??

From the site, because I am TYPE RATED, it means I will enter as a 5th year SFO ???

Hope we could get more information ... :cool:

I´ve heard from them that apart from your A levels, you need a 3 year university or a 3 year aprenticeship experience to join.
