Having had quite a few flights with Lufthansa, I've never come across an Australian or British pilot, is there any reason why there aren't any in Germany or was it just me not getting flights crewed by them?
FlyingIrishman,
well, I guess there are a few pilots from around the world flying for Lufthansa. Including Brits and Aussies. Most of them would propably have german roots, a german wife or something along that line.
Why? Off course you have to be fluent in German to fly for the German flag carrier! Donīt speak french? No job with Air France! Donīt speak spanish? No job with Iberia! Donīt speak English? Of course no job with BA or Aer Lingus!
I guess this is true for most long established, major carriers not only in europe but around the world.

Any candidate to LH has to pass a DLR test in German and be at or below age 33 which most candidate fails to do so.
Another thought, why so little German expat pilots abroad? Reason: language problem? food problem? cultural problem, whatelse is preventing them to move outside Germany?

It could be Kiwi's - the 733 jocks at Freedom Air are reportedly the lowest paid jet drivers in the western world (FO's on NZ$30K or Ģ10K in proper money). Our clubs CFI has just been head hunted for Malaysia, there are loads of Kiwi's in Ozzie (Trans Tasman agreement) and the UK (having UK passports helps). There have also been some recent CPLer's going to southern Africa to get time in local ops.
