Unfortunately I don't think you'll easily find an airline ready to sponsor you (appart from SAA). Airlines doing sponsoring usually prefer people from their own country, not expats. I know BA is an exception to the rule, but you have AT LEAST to have the right to live and work in Europe.

Now regarding Emirates, I wouldn't be surprised if they had the same policy as Gulf Air: "we hire expats if they have a type rating and experience, but we do ab-initio training for the smart guys born in the Gulf".

The only people who are ready to sponsor anybody (provided they have garantees) are the bankers. Give it also a try: have you got something to lose after all ?


Keep trying. Don't give up. The job is out there !

imaad,

call BA on

+44 (0)20 8940 2777 or +44 (0)870 607 3777

They should send out the app forms.
