Q400 CA in Europe?

[Fokker28]

Can anyone provide a brief sketch of the hiring possibilities for a US Q400 CA looking for a job in Europe? My wife is transferring to the EU, and I am wondering how hard it is to get a job over there. I don't know much about the rating conversions, visas, etc.

Any general help would be great, thanks!

Contact Flybe. Best chance of a job in UK if that's what you're after. Biggest Q400 operator in Europe, though possibly not the only one. Another UK operator has just signed for twn of them, so look out in Flight for possible jobs soon.

Hey there, I take it you are a CA at QX? If that's true - and you have the right to work in the EU you'll have plenty of flight time. Google info on ratings conversions.

Yup, QXer with around 7K hrs. I'll start looking through all of the red tape!

Any idea or hints as to who is the new uk operator?
