I actually fell into this position. I know someone (NETWORKED/MET AT FLIGHT SAFETY AND KEPT IN CONTACT) over there and happen to have a Lear 60 type rating which is what they need. I was really offered the job without a formal interview but am going through the process next week. I am pretty excited because I really want to take this job and live overseas for a while.
As far as CE560XL types flying around Europe I have no idea. I have never flown around Europe other than a trans-atlantic crossing to England. Otherwise I have no idea how things are done until I go through a Euro flying course which the company does in house. This company flies all "N" registered airplanes so they are American pilots flying them. As I learn more I will share on this forum.
Good luck to everyone. I truly hope people will use this info not for bashing one another but from learning what could be had in this career we call aviation. There is alot of bad stuff out there but also some GREAT opportunities if you are creative, personable, and most importantly can NETWORK yourself. If it has yet to been said...network, network, network. Your student today may be your captain tomorrow. Keep that in your brain housing group.
