Knowing forum users' eager desire to tell newbs to "search" I want to affirm that I have done several days of searching on these and other forums. :\:ok:
My question comes from an outsider (Canadian) looking to enter aviation life in Europe. I've yet to start training, but I'm curious. With a JAA ATPL (issued by a country that complies with JAR-FCL 1 [told you I researched]) are you basically confined to the country of issue, due to language barriers/mild xenophobia? I know techincally speaking with a JAR-FCL ATPL you're allowed to be hired in any JAA country under the mutual agreement, but being a native English speaker, and being moderately good in French, am I confined basically to jobs in the UK, maybe even France? Or is it 'easy' for English speakers to go elsewhere (ie. Eastern Europe, Spain etc) to find work?
Thanks,
Matthew
