How realistic is it for an american pilot to be employed at KLM? My AME does medicals for 3 guys in my area that fly for KLM but I haven't been able to meet them yet. I know they are US citizens and do not speak dutch. I understand JARs and what it takes to convert a license.... I will wait to get my FAA ATP and a good bit of turbine PIC time under my belt before I try to get my ATPL. And I know the JAA & EU aren't really that fond of hiring outside of Europe... I still want to try though because my two goals were to fly tactical jets or fly in Europe, and since the military isn't for me.... is this a realistic idea or just fantasyland?

Well, you could always get hired by Atlas on the 747 and fly out of its Stansted (UK) base... Good luck.

Hey brother -

I can't say this enough. Europe is NOT one country. Yes, the French and Germans don't like americans a lot. But you are more then welcome in the Netherlands, UK and most other western European countries.

g'luck to you sir!
