Hello All,
Was hoping someone might be able to provide me with some information on how I might go about finding a cargo pilot job in Europe. I am 1200 hr FAA Commercial pilot currently flying in the US. I've been interested in flying abroad for sometime but have only now started to research the process. I understand that I must get an ICAO conversion. Must I also get a JAA ATPL (I hear this is like getting a degree in nuclear physics) in order to work for a freight company? Another question I'd like to pose is, does anyone think this is actually an achievable goal or am I simply mad to attempt such a move? The av job market in the states in garbage so I figure I can safely assume it's likewise elsewhere. Regardless, any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. All the best, Elbridge
