[norwegian pilot]

Hello guys, Im a norwegian pilot in whos been flying Learjets in usa for a while and Im lookin to get back home to Europe by may/june this year-07. Ive been here in the usa the last 3 years so I have no idea whats goin on over there. I will return with aprox 2800tt and 700jet sic on LR25/31/55 and theres no funds in my pocket to buy a type on any airliner, unfortunately..

Now to the Q`s:

-What companys do you guys reccommend over there, ie. pay/benefits/roster... ?

-What companys will "sponsor" a type, in the sense you pay them back?

-What companys have pilot bases in Sweden?

-Any words about Netjets Europe?


Thanks for any info

-yes, I got my JAA CPL(A) ME IR -frozen ATPL in 2003 with Oxford Aviation and a flightschool in Norway. Do you know anything about upgrade time/hrs there, and in what types they hire pilots onto? Do you start with the small monkeys and work way up or any possibilities for a sic entry into a G5?
