English-speaking jobs with non-UK license?
Hey guys,
Some of you may have seen my threads in medical and training.
I've found out that if I'm to get a JAA fATPL then its not going to be issued by the UK.
Is this going to be a big problem when coming to apply for airlines? both easyjet and BA speciaflly that you must have a UK issued JAA license? Is this the case for all the UK airlines? Another problem I have is that I can only speak english, so flying for other european airlines is probably out of the question.
Last thing I want to do is spend £50k on training to find no airline will employ me due to having the wrong license.

anyone?
does anyone know how much of a problem I will have trying to get a job with UK airlines not having a UK licence?
I don't want to do all my training and have a nice shiney Irish or German or Spanish JAA fATPL and then find that no UK airline will hire me because its not a UK issued JAA licence...

Well if british airlines are taking on lots of continental europeans, it shouldn't be a problem a briton with a non-british JAA licence getting accepted as well. Best thing would be to give a few airlines a ring and find out exactly what their requirements are.
