Foreign Pilots work in the US

[mshunter]

How're guys with a 747 type. Bombing out of CRJ training?

Because there is no hand holding for training in the US. Typical training cycles for the type here are roughly month long. Two weeks of ground, two weeks of sims. Overseas, they want you to know the torque specs of the nacelle attachment bolts. A friend went from the CRJ to a Japanese carrier flying 73's. His training was 6 months.

I didn’t know there was that much of a difference!

No, it's not that. Widebodies make you lazy. People have a really hard time going from autothrottles no none. They have a really hard time when the autothrottles don't do what they think they should have. The CRJ is no where near as automated as the 747 and people are used to just staring out windows for 10 hours. Not to meantion 600 hours of flying is like 3 hours of stick time. Whereas on an RJ, you're going to have to fly a bit.

I was never a better stick than when I was on the EM2, and like a lot of other, unrelated stuff, it was downhill from there.

I dunno, I've switched back and forth between the 175 and the CRJ (not by choice), and I'd have to disagree. The training programs in other countries are a completely different animal, and when guys are bombing out of training here state side.....well....

We do the fire hose method here. The drink from a garden hose. They both fill the pool. One give you time to digest, one fills you up until you throw up.

Hey guys, I had some issues here. As my topic had explained some part of it, I heard some rumors from my instructors and friends who flies for a long time, is it true that "U.S airlines doesn't like to hire Foreign pilots because they think the pilots flew unsafely? Even with those pilots who had already have more than ten years of experiences with 747, 777 and 787?"
I want to work for the major airlines in the State, I do have other choices to fly the big jets earlier; me was thinking about getting enough experiences then will switch back to work the States, but if the rumor is true then I'd rather take step by step to built the hour and get RATP.

At my shop, as long as you have the appropriate visas or basically the “legal right to work in the US”, they will consider your application.

We’ve hired quite a few non-US born pilots. Including one that almost started a bar fight in Wiasconsin when he lectured the bartender about “Well, mate. What you call chips are crisps and what you call fries are actually chips so why don’t you hurry along and bring me some chips with my BUHHHHGUH”

I believe I met that chap.

You did!

Reading the menu, silently, “Oh, they offer chips, fries or seasonal vegetables with their burgers... Oh no, he’s gonna get triggered, lie in wait and OHHHH there he goes”

Idk, I'm fairly confident that if you took the long term people at my shop and put them through a very not hold your hand airplane initial you'd see quite dismal results. And that's ok, so long as they stay on what they're on or similar.

He must be new here. After a while, you get used to people being wrong about so many important things, you just let the little things go. 'Incorrect names for food items? Aren't they quaint here in the colonies.' Now bring me another short pint....
