Sure hope they don't drop the language requirement... Lets face it. SAS requires you to speak one of the "Scandinavian" languages. KLM wants you to learn Dutch. For Lufthansa one needs to speak German or learn it. Want to work for any UK or US company and don't speak English, think you can get hired?
I still remember a Georgian, then Soviet Union, pilot who moved to Finland learned the language and has been with Finnair since the late 80's.

In todays newspaper there's a big ad by Air Finland for recruiting pilots. The management has told everywhere that last year was very good financially, but they haven't told any numbers...

If Im not mistaken (which I sure could be) PPRuNe staff banned finnish because they had no moderator that spoke the lingo at that stage, and thus would have no control over the postings, which clearly is not good on a forum of this size.
Legal issues is a big thing these days and if that was the real reason I can only agree with the decision. Having said that, it would not be impossible to find finnish speaking member and train him as a moderator.
Anyways: Hopefully some of you´s get jobs with Air Finland, and if you are not finnish speakers you should atleast make an effort to learn
cheers

There is now also an other Finnish forum that tries to fulfill the need that FsNordic doesn't that is anonymous or semi-anonymous discussion for Finnish commercial pilots in Finnish. This can be found at http://wings.iphorum.com/.
