If Canadians got the right to work in the EU would you go?

And what airlines would you like to apply to?

[Launchpad1]

In order to fly an EU registered aircraft wouldn't you need an EASA license?

This procedure to convert to UK ATPL (I'm guessing it's gonna be something similar or same for EASA) is enough to make an average Canadian pilot to cry themselves to sleep.

No. Southeast Asia or bust. But the wife doesn't like how pretty the FAs are compared to ACs crusty ones

Unless you go fly for BA (which is not EASA anymore), your wife would still be jealous. But, you can show her the BA FA's and tell her that's how Europe is. Then go for ULCC, those FA's are smoking hot. Captain salary? 7-8000€ after all deductions flying A321s ->150k CAD after deductions which is equivalent to 240k CAD salary in Canada (260k if in YUL). Base yourself in Portugal or Spain and your cost of living will be 2x lower than at AC. Not to mention QOL.

If you just wanted to hang out with smoking hot FA, go to Asia. Most airlines there pick FA's with the same standard as Models. And they all provide Visas. Not to mention most places you can rent a luxury apartment for 1000-1500, like high end luxury. Not sure if you can do that in England.

Not sure how long I'd last in Asia because their SOPs dictates that you can only change a radio frequency turning the knob up in frequency and not allowed to go down using the knob.

Wait… we’re still turning knobs in 2026?

I mean maybe Porter's EJet now has touch screens for radios, don't know.

You can spend an entire day changing frequencies on the Q without touching a knob.

Yes

There's also a language requirement.

French Airlines want French speakers
German Airlines want German speakers

And so on.
