There's never a week when bar bouncers in company (12-14 outlets) where I work, don't have problems with violent and/or drunk Polish. No other minority is troublesome. These cases easily exceed troubles with locals. Minority becoming majority. Hmm. Attitude quite in line with what I was saying.
I won't comment rest of Your post beacause I think it all comes from this, that you have to much to do with guys who were to lazy to find something in their country and hit the road for a new life without any knowledge of what's behind their barn.
I think also that we're A BIT OT... and this thread has gone so far that LOT doesn't even fly there
cheers

as for OT:
Yeah. What else can anyone add to first couple matter-of-fact posts?
Or do you expect second person not reading it and posting off the top of head question that's been aswered?
Well, hijacking the thread to delve in issues touched by previous posts for not so important whining and rant? Yes it is. Yes it's not uncommon on PPRUNE. if Senior Pilot feels like deleting my posts for being OT, alas..
Nice one, szwajcar.
Just lil comment. I too did work in some crappy jobs. It wouldn't be so for many if most of central European degrees together with good English meant something..
Those Polish working here contribute to lower unemployment in Poland, send most of their slaved away dosh 'back home' or take it all with them on the way back. So that's HUGE net influx of currency plus less benefits handed to folks in Poland. Plus UK child benefits system exploiting (being stopped now).
Good that you're not one of those wanting to burn me at stake for anything not exactly pleasing.
donPablo,
Btw, did you hear me or someone else complainabout/doubt the professionalism of Polish air crew? I even stated in first post about the SOP from what people posted, but saying not about quality. OK? :-)
One thing is whining about something and another putting your words in my mouth.
I don't agree with saying that so many people around are small minority being antisocial and therefore not representing (at least to a degree) population of Poland.
RE: Stag nights - That's exactly case of tiny part of population NOT representing country as it's all about boozing and making ass of oneself.
Make booze and 'girls' expensive and it won't happen.
That's just like saying that all the Finnish, Irish or Brits flying to cheap boozing destinations only to booze are the true image of country. Anyone?
'Rowdies' are good example for my words.
There's also lots of sensible and mature people coming for sightseeing.
PS: I'm not Brit or Irish, so could as well be labelled as whatever in the UK.

I'm sure it'll touch some general issues regarding and impacts on employment, housing, etc.
Politicians can't say anything straight-to-the-point for obvious reasons.
Dispatches documentaries have been my favourites, whatever sensitive issue around the world or in the UK. They don't play PC game like govts..

Joke... isn't it?? It is aviation forum and LOT is not a stupid PUB in South London! I don't speak about loosers working as a dischwashers or building Your houses... If You don't like people from Poland its Your right... But the fact is that we have HQ aviation personel.

Guys,
I'm a Polish citizen in May 08 going to Jerez for the integrated course with JOC (1,5 year). How's my chances of getting a job in LOT after that? It would be great to live and work in Poland. How does it look in LOT in general?
Cheers

Hello!
I am a Polish citizen but I have been living in the United States for over 10 years now. I am currently in the process of converting my license from FAA ATP to JA ATP. It is a long and expensive journey but always wanted to live in Europe. My English and Polish are fluent. have over 2500 hours of which 1500 hours are on a ERJ 145 as an FO. I have SIC privileges on that aircraft as well. I am thinking of applying to LOT, but to be quite honest, I do not know anything about the pay or the quality of life. Can some please enlighten me on what an FO can expect in the first years of work? What is the typical upgrade time? Also, I am concerned about the terminology in polish since I trained in the English language. CHEERS! (I trying some REAL English)

Rumour says that all new pilots for LOT will be taken from EUROLOT. It means that You'll have to start on ATR's, work there few years and then You can try to apply for ERJ. Not confirmed info but truth is that there's no new recruitment on the horizon...

OsPi,
For sure I know Your guy.
What we were said, it was probably last direct LOT recruitment.
But no worries, real kaleidoscope. Hope that nothing will change in the matter.
cheers

Well i thought i might spark up this thread again.
I'm a pilot in Australia with both parents being Polish. I can speak fluent but reading is poor.
what are the average requirements to even start considering applying for LOT?
i am on minimal hours at the moment but considering the move after a couple more years here.

Recruitment 2011
LOT is recruiting again.
I have applied some weeks ago, but not heard anything yet.
Anybody knows when the interviews will be held & how many are they looking for, or any other useful info?
Thanx
