In this case, you may relax...

[Vitek]

This is only open to Captain positions. And only until, 2020.
Otherwise you need Russian Citizenship to fly commercially in Russia.

In terms of conditions in Russia? Well I turned down opportunities in Canada for a right seat in Russia. No regrets. However I was blessed with obtaining Russian citizenship

[Aviaservice]

No regrets

It's because you are from one of former Soviet Republic, isn't it!?

[Vitek]

Yup. And because I couldn't come close to having these opportunities anywhere else I have lived in the world. Personal and professional

Not worried about frost bite?

[Pin Head]

So Russia needs pilots for both seats?

[Aviaservice]

Rated captains only!!

[Aviaservice]

Well, there is no problem with FOs in Russia. The CEO one of the major company says, that they have a shortage of type rated captains, nevertheless, I know my company has a problem with FOs at the moment, but i think it's temporarily.

[bubo46]

..it says changed Air codex or the CEO one of the major company?

[Aviaservice]

That CEO has recommended to our government to change the air law. It's Russia, the country of incredible things.

[bubo46]

its clear, on your place I would write the same, because
local pilots fear foreign competitors

[Aviaservice]

No bubo46, i meant, in Russia, the main law may be changed for one person! Real democracy!!!

[captplaystation]

Ha Ha love your humour/irony. . . you have it 100% correct there.

[ClimbSequence]

Will these companies require to speak Russian in order to work for them?
Cause in that case most CIS countries pilots will have advantage

[Boule de beige]

I think this amendment is primarily aimed to the Russian speaking pilots from the former Soviet Union republics..

Hi! I think it will be better to know Russian, because as a captain you have to solve many tsaks and problems with services, customs etc at the Russian's aerodromes. For example, the custom's procedures are absolutely different at the various aerodromes. It always makes me sad. There are three airports in Moscow and there are three different procedures! Also, it's hard to find good English speaking ATC beyond the European part of Russia (Norilsk, Novy Urengoy etc), and you may get some problems with situational awareness. Of course, some of the FO's are not fluent speakers, therefore be ready to fly in silence .
