Wow! Great videos - I enjoyed both of them immensely. Whoever filmed these is pretty talented - I like the quick pace and the changing camera shots.

I have heard that the MD-11 is difficult to land at times and these landings looked a bit rough but the KLM guys are among the best in the world. Isn't it true that pilots applying to KLM have to have a Dutch passport and actually speak Dutch? Not a very easy language to learn...

Thanks

Aww man... awesome video...
...makes me wanna go out and fly an MD-11.

 

[TurboAWD]

Jezus, those guys look young to be flying heavy iron int'l. Makes me jealous.
And even more depressed to be flying a darn RJ at a POS "regional" airline.

I don't want much. Just a company that respects me, and $200k+ a year

 

[jws717]

very cool stuff, those klm guys are realy young

 

[Otto77]

KLM seems where its at...i wonder if what it takes to fly for them..hmmmm

 

[xdashdriver]

The most depressing part of it all is that KLM went under and was bought by Air France. Now THAT's depressing.

One of the songs is "Call On Me" by Eric Prydz...You should see the video!!

The song is a remake of the Steve Winwood song "Valerie"

I'll never forget the time I spent in Amsterdam listening to that song in a club!

DoJetdriver...you kick a** for knowing those songs.

The video totally rocks. I went to Spain in December and that track was all over the freaking place. You couldn't go into any club without hearing it.

 

[Flyingdutchman]

Jumppilot (bless you for being a former jump pilot! been there, done it!),

You are gay.

 

[Flyingdutchman]

Haha. woke up that quick?

Heavy set and others,

KLM will hire non EU citizens. in general you nee a:

1) EU passport

or;

2) EU workpermit.

3) JAA ATPL (now that's a whole lot of BS to get in to)

In time of high demand KLM wil sponsor your workpermit. And there are many pilots (americans, ausies, canadians etc) who work at KLM and don't speak Dutch.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link amaneiac!!!! That was fun.......time for a cold shower now!!!

 

[Diesel]

Do you need to have an eu passport on hand.

I am able to obtain one but haven't gotten it. Just have fill the app out online.

 

[Flyingdutchman]

You don't need a EU passport, but it sure would make it easier.

Gluck!

 

[Diesel]

Can't find the online app online.

God that sounds weird.

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 -

Read my anwers. And by the way, you already know the answer!

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!
