Opportunites/Training in Sunny Spain
Hi all,
I'm planning to move down to Spain sometime in the future, say 2 years from now or so. The plan is to train at Jerez, and see how things go from there.
Here's what i'm wondering about though;
Are there many regional airlines in Spain/Portugal offering oppertunites to fly for them, or even offering sponsorship (that I doubt)?
And what are the chances of something with Iberia/Nostrum.
Currently PPL, 18 and got just enough cash currently to put towards training, but more saving and less binge drinking is required
!! I am half-way through learning Spanish, and by 2 years time I 'should' be speaking fluently in the local lingo.
As an aside - when I was 15, I got offered full time scholarship with GAPAN, but could not accept due age
. What are the possibilties of applying to GAPAN and pointing out that they have offered me scholarship in the past? I still have their original letter if it would help.
Cheers,
RR.

Hi Ronaldsway,
The situation in Spain is the same as in most countries for low houred pilots, I speak English and Spanish and have nearly 600 hours, and I donīt even get called to attend the recruitment process, where they can call hundreds of pilots for very few places, on top of that you need very good contacts in the companies to be considered...
But by all means, if you want to go to "sunny Spain" go for it, try get your hours up with whatever you can find and once you have the hours you might get lucky!!
Good luck with whatever you do,
