Hi to All.
If some one could please offer me some advise? I am a South African pilot in the UK doing the JAA ATPL.
I need to know if pilots are required to have an EU passport to fly for an airline in the UK?
Advice and comments are most welcome.
Many thanks
Lloyd

Thank you. So this means that it is not really worth me doing the JAA ATPL or might there still be some one willing to tale me on? Thanks again.
Regards
Lloyd

The “colour” of your passport is not the issue, what is required is the right to reside and work in the UK. In practical terms this means the right to “permanently” reside and work here. Temporary visas and work permits are available but because of their relatively short period of validity this makes the holder an unattractive prospect as a potential employee. The first year of a 3 year permit could easily be eaten up by selection and training. This leaves only 2 years of productive employment available to the employer and the expense of replacement.
