First airline job
Hi!
In couple of months I am finishing my integrated Ab initio training, getting my ATPL and full license that I need to work in an airline. I’m little bit concerned about job securing FO job after, I don’t have a type and not planning on paying it by myself. Bonding, or similar stuff is okay, but I am not fascinated with P2F idea.
So, my question is, where to begin? When I get all I need (MEP/CPL/IR/NVFR/MCC) where should I go. I am finishing my training in EU so I got EASA lic but I won’t have “unrestricted” right to live and work here. After I lose my visa of course. Still, probably gonna solve this somehow, work permit or smith. I live in the Balkans so AirSerbia and etc are also an option.
thank you in advance!

Doubtlessly, You have made plans for that before starting to pay up for training?
Here´s what I would do, were I in Your shoes. Find out what countries You have the right to reside and work in. Then assemble a list of any and all commercial aircraft operator seated in those, be it airline, business charter operator or whatever. And then it´s time for some leg work. Assemble application folders and take them to those companies, talk to their recruiters, talk to the crews working in those companies and be there when they need a new pilot.
It is not so much about getting into a big airliner, it is primarily about getting Your rear into a pilots seat for some pay.
Good luck!

Wizzair. Their other various traits be scrutinized deservedly, but for a young gun, it is a good place to start. And they train very well.

Type-rating you can either choose to pay for by yourself or bonding to the company for 4 years. Accomodation is paid for during Type-rating.
Money depends heavily on the base, which you can't chose (because nobody would go to some bases in that case lol) you can however give a preference. Afaik it is pretty rare that you get your wanted base though. Some bases get double taxation, some others don't pay any taxes, it is a roullette more or less.
It is a great opportunity for beginners, you fly A LOT, you get a VERY fast upgrade, if that's what you want to go for and the A320 rating is probably the most valuable to have.
