Re: Is anyone here a pilot in Switzerland?
Post 1
Hello Soraia. I work in aviation in Switzerland since almost 10 years or so. Companies are few, and hence jobs are even fewer. Since the national air carrier Swissair was grounded, a lot of Swiss pilots lost their jobs and are looking for them still. In Swiss aviation companies, especially among pilot jobs, the local companies look for seniority and company loyality. I think the chances that your friend finds a job here is not so high therefore, but one should alwas try of course :)
Have a look therefore at the few aviation companiesm, namely in Geneva and Zurich, for jobs on their website. As for licencing, perhaps he/she should contact the Federal Office of Civil Aviation in Switzerland for information on what he/she would need to fly here.
Hope that helps and good luck! :)
