French ATPL?
Hi.
I have some questions regarding licenses in France.
I am currently doing my JAA ATPL in Norway, and i have heard that i need a special french ATPL to fly for a french company. Is this correct? And what addidional education do i need?
Thanks

Crave, why do you want working for a french company ??
Because the only french company is Air France, but she doesn't recruit at this moment...AF recruits only cadets or cadets pro, but not pro with CPL/IR...
TRY UK.

Thanks for the replys guys
When it comes to speaking french, i have 2 years of french classes, from high school, so i hope i'm able to "re-learn" the language. However when it come's to being french, that's for sure gonna be a problem, since i am norwegian... But i thought the rules set by EEC/EU(free movement of labor etc) would make it possible for me to get a french license.
Why i want to work in France? Several reasons, girlfriend, friends, i enjoy the culture,... Dont get me wrong, i'd gladly for starters work anywhere in JAA, also outside JAA. But i'm nearly just trying to figure out my opptions.
I know that AirFrance is the only french company, however there should be several companys wich have a base in France? (if you know someone, please post a reply). And as far as it comes to AirFrance, in my mind, it is one of the flag-ships in European Aviation. I'd proudly work there.
Thanks again for the reply's, and keep them coming

You dont need a French licence to work in France even for Air France..a friend of mine have been hire with a CAA jar fcl and a handfull of Belgium work for AF with their Belgium licence! but you will need to be fluent in french as only few of us speak English properly 
It would be much easier to change your girfriend...

C'est peut etre mieux comme cela, ainsi ils ne s'humilient pas en demontrant leur incapacite a parler cette langue, et la securite aerienne ne s'en porte que mieux.

Ils s'humilient sur les autres terrains...

on sait que la france c est juste bon pour les vacances, la mer, la montagne, c est pour ca que les anglais viennent acheter ici, mais pour le travail passer votre chemin meme de nos jours ou les compagnies recrutent que se passe t il en france rien du tout a part brit air pour quelques recommandés en haut lieu.
le mieux pour vivre en france , city jet , easy jet , netjets, bref compagnies étrangeres.

Alors petite info: a salaire egal mes impots en France seraient 30% inferieurs a ceux que je paye a Londres. Et sachant que le cout de la vie ici est de 30 a 40% superieur a la France (essence, logement, bouffe et compagnie), tu vois l'arnaque!!

Tout depend du statut familiale qui ne fait aucune difference (ou presque) en UK (n'oublions pas non plus la CSG et autres )
Plus d'impots directes en France mais plus d'impots indirectes en GB.
