UK/Italy/Germany - Any real difference?
Evening everybody,
About to complete icao cpl fixed wing in RSA. Ive been looking around and see there are a few opportunities with some good carriers, namely West Atlantic (UK), Air Dolomiti (Italy) and German airways wdl (Germany.)
All are requiring cpl + ir and mcc. Salaries are almost equal for FO. Usual ts and cs.
Are there any real differences between the three airlines? Locations are quite the same apart from the wx in the uk I heard.
I like the idea of Air Dolomiti..
Any advice would be much appreciated! Even regarding other carriers you guys and gals might know..

Do you speak Italian? Because I'm quite sure it is a requirement, or at least it was until recently if they changed. And you need to prepare for the DLR.
West Atlantic is a cargo airline. Very good airline to work for, but you only fly on average 300 hours per year and it is only night flying.
The most important question is do you have the right to live and work in the EU? You will also need a EASA ATPL, which requires you to pass 14 exams.

West Atlantic is indeed a nice little company to work for but as Banana Joe said, it’s 300 hours a year, so for someone looking to build up hours and experience, it’s not the best option.

Thanks Banana Joe.
Yeah its a bit of a pity. The atpls i could do but its having to time the visa process with the atpl completion and then having a try at the application to the airline. Would be spoiled with a reject obviously though i suppose they arent the only three airlines in europe and having a frozen easa is certainly not a bad thing
Im learning the language..Cool
Alrosa,
Could imagine a pilot working low hours doing side line instruction flying/roster dependent etc..
