Q&A: What would be the process of going from flying Boeing to Airbus?

Question by Pilot & Mathematician Spaniard: What would be the process of going from flying Boeing to Airbus?
Genuine answers please :) ?
I am 27, fly 737 but have spoken to pilots who fly Airbus A380 and I’ve also being in the flight deck of one and I think it is at the very top of every plane ever made.

I am willing to move long distance if needs be, even move coutry, if I was able to become an A380 pilot.

What would be the process starting from now?

Best answer:

Answer by Fly B
Hmm… you might be hard pressed for answers here.

Basically you need to a very senior pilot at a company that flies the A380. So you would likely have to move to a country, whose national carrier flies the A380. Then you’d have to get citizenship, transfer of proper pilot licensing, then get hired. Once hired, you would have to stay there for the rest of your life and hope that at 27 you were hired early enough that you will become senior enough to make it to the A380 before being forced into retirement at 60 (or 65 depending on the company).

I’m sure you will find that by the time you get there, you won’t be so excited about it. At that time, to you, it will be ‘just another plane’.

Give your answer to this question below!

KLM Boeing B747-400 TakeOff St Maarten Cockpit view

TakeOff from St. Maarten as seen from cockpit 747. To answer some remarks from viewers: Why is T/O so fast and short? Well, the aircraft weighs only 260.000 kgs (max = 396.000kgs) in this T/O with only 30.000 kgs of fuel for a flight time of 1hr15min to Curacao (you can see the landing here: www.youtube.com ). With this low weight Vr is 125kts and climbout speed is 155kts(=V2 + 10kts) Why is V1 and Vr called so close? Because, when a/c is very light you have to increase V1 to the Vmcg(=Vmin control ground)speed. If you don’t and start flying below this speed and an outboard engine fails, you are not able to control a/c. That’s why in this T/O V1 is the same as Vr. Yes, it’s a 747. No, it’s not fake. And to answer some more questions: This take off is part of a three stretch flight: AMS-SXM, then SXM-CUR, then CUR-AMS.
