Tarjet : check this site http://www.csa.cz/en/czechia/cz_spol...uitment_en.htm You will see the language requirement at point 2.
Local language is not secondary language ,my friend,it's their first language. You should know it,cause you'll interact with many people in the company,and most won't know english,it's not required for them.
The same for LOT,but you won't find on their site.I'll check with some friends,to see if it's still valid.But I guess will be,for the reason I've stated above.
PF :you made me laugh,thks. What if the person you've talked about is your friend or aquaintance,or if you defend him or not?
You seem to think the CAA is there to maintain as many planes and people in the air? You are so far from the truth..Their reason for existance is to make sure that everyting that get's up in the air do it in accordance with the law and regulations.I know most of us don't like them for one reason or another.
What was the reason for that fellow licence restriction,in the first place?
Other JAA endoresed that fellow licence? Name one.
So,if on you're driving licence will be clearly stated 'only allowed to drive in england" ,you think that when going into france you'll automatically get a driving licence?.Dead wrong.
Pilot shortage,you say?..well,check 'number' experience with Blue Air ,in Bucharest :
http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=258477
You know,not all the available jobs are here in EU. I have friends flying for many years in Coreea,Japan,middle east,marroco,Pakistan..
Also,one intersting thing,you may not know,but ryanair started with romanian pilots.Also,romanian pilots were flying for years in Germany,on CRJ,or in Ireland ,flying the ATR.
I like to think that we are all friends here,and we exchange ideeas,or pertinent info's,so no reason for things like 'talking sh1t'....even if you're a 20 yrs youngster,you're not excused.
Brgds ,

I've flown with Tarom pilots for a couple of years who were on secondment from the B737 fleet and working via Parc for another operator. They were all very good pilots, albeit slightly old school and had alot of experience. They all loved their home country, as most people do, but said it was much better to work abroad and reap the financial rewards.

They all said Romania was a beautiful country and invited me to visit. However they all said if I did visit to let them know and they would come and meet me as it would not be a good idea for a foreigner to be wondering around Bucharest on their own

All these guys were complete gentlemen and perhaps it was only out of politeness they were saying this, but I doubt it as they had no such qualms about wondering around Budapest, Kosice, Bratislava, Warsaw, Krakow, Katowice etc etc.

Just a personal take on the matter!

Really quite rude, extremely pompous & totally uncalled for, Robert Palmer. How's your written Romanian?

alexban,
you seem to be a very good website reader, allow me to tell you that real life is somewhat different.
Of course i will not post any names of non czech speaking CSA pilots here but believe me that what CSA (and others) state in their websites doesn't have to be necessarily true.
When i said "secondary" language i was referring to the world of aviation where if you don't know english you cannot operate internationally as per ICAO requirements (unless of course you speak the language of every country you overfly); once again you seem to take every comment a bit too personal.Grow up.

IFORD,
you and I know very well that living in eastern Europe on a western salary,roster and benefit package is somewhat the perfect scenario especially if we are talking about Prague, Budapest or Krakov where lifestyles are almost western but still at a much lower cost.
Bucharest and Romania in general are unfortunately another story.

Sorry about the spelling PF, but you may know that some names are spelled diferently in other languages.I've lost my training in written english,in fact pprune is the only place I'm practising it, and , especially if tired, i tend to mess it up good.
For ex ,in my language, I spell corectly Maroc and Corea.You may see that trying to do that corectly in english I did it wrong in both languages
Anyway ,Rober Palmer tried to correct my comma and space use, so what can I say..I'm improving...thks RP

Incredible, this thread looks like a giant kindergarden, some of you people need to grow up
Countbat, Eastern Europe is often a case of who you know not what you know If you really want to go for it, turn up for a month in the summer, and go flying GA with the locals. In my East Europe GA experience, most of the airline pilots in that part of the world still enjoy their private or club flying.
A bit of flying, a few beers and who knows what will happen if you have an open mind As a 10000 hour 737 captain, with a great personality ? and the ability to mentor the locals, as long as your price is right, I am sure you can get a foot in the door somewhere. But don't stick to Romania, cast your net wider for a better chance of something popping up.

Good luck !!

Cool

Wow what a welcome to the new Europeans you guys offer. I have to agree with a previous poster, how good are the rest of our language skills in a foreign language guys? If you are a Brit / Yank, the answer ( probably) is somewhere between nil and piss poor, so , in the interests of unity politeness and realism perhaps you could all give some leeway to our non Queens English posters ? I visited Romania last summer and my partner reckoned it had actually gone downhill since her last visit 4 years ago, and seemed to have barely advanced since she left 11 years ago, and that, from a Romanian. We also visited Hungary, and that seemed to have undergone a fairly dramatic transformation since I last visited ten years ago. Assuming therefore that the dreaded corruption problems can be solved, Romania might be a nice place to live in 10 years time, but for the moment . . . . . hmn, I don't think just yet.

I think you'll find that Romania has been in Europe for quite a long time and accordingly Romanians are not new Europeans, they'd probably be quite offended by such a suggestion that they have been somewhere else other than Europe

There is a chance. TAROM and Blue Air operate 737's, they might hire you. You definitely have the experience, you just have to show up at the right time and talk to the right people. You'd also have to look into the work permit issue, I don't think US citizens automatically get work permits but a lot can be done here in person.

Good luck

Countbat, you may want to take a look at Licence conversion (see posts #17&19)
and also From FAA to JAR

Work permit is another issue

Best wishes

Who would have thought that under such an inocent thread title I would find such fireworks? Fun and games...

Back to the tittle though, you could always get a job with Netjets and comute from Romania. They do something like 6 on 5 off and you can be based anywhere you choose.

I hope my spelling and punctuattion is Ok, otherwise I will definetly know about it...

Thumbs down

Calypso, I know I was disapointed too. Fireworks is a nice diplomatic term, but a better description by a ppruner a while ago was "the classic teenager slanging match about who's dog has the biggest d1ck" that we keep seeing on pprune day in day out. Theese people with no lives find the excuse in most subjects discussed to pollute every thread with their sad and immature way of venting their frustrations by having a pop at someone, and what's more they behave in a primal way, like wolves that can smell blood, some join in and gang up on the victims of this abuse. It is really disappointing that this sort of aggresive immature behaviour is displayed by some of the people who work with us in this profession and who should inspire more trust. Gentlemen, if I can call you that, you are not many but your voices are always the loudest. You all know who you are and so does everyone else.

Romania

I spent some time in Bucharest in 2003 training pilots on the MD-80. I liked the place and thought the people were very nice. True, it is a poor developing country and I am sure things have improved since then.

If I remember correctly most pilots were seeking jobs eleswhere because of low pay there. Some may have found jobs in Instanbull.

W!ZZAIR Need crews in Bucharest also.
I can think of worse places to work.

Food and Beer are very cheap, accomodation very expensive though. Traffic congestion is something else! Locals very friendly and helpful.
