Pilot Testimonials
"Flight Crew International (FCI) is a professional agency and their people are ready to help pilots to comply with all the requirements necessary for employment, and, even more important, they care about you as a person – you are not just a number or a file for them. Every time I had a question or a doubt before, during or after my assessment process, they were always ready to answer in a few hours and often within minutes. I'm very grateful especially to my FCI agent, who was a committed, kind, helpful, and friendly lady ready to help me always. FCI was behind me and supported me since the very beginning of this adventure and I am now ready for my first flight as a B-777 Commander and I just want to say…THANK YOU VERY MUCH FCI! Thank you for all your help and commitment…good job!"

Only good things to say about Flight Crew International. Very professional work and organization."

Captain Alberto Nardelli
A330 Commander, Turkish Airlines
"I was employed as a contract pilot by Flight Crew International (FCI), for about five and a half years, as an MD-11 Captain. My former airline employment was as a direct hire for a major, unionized, airline. I'd heard of many unhappy experiences with other Pilot Contracting companies, but the experience I had working for FCI was extremely good. FCI management was always aware, and attentive to, the issues the pilots, and these efforts resulted in a fine, and rewarding, working arrangement. The management team at FCI treated all of their pilots as real people, and they took a real interest in helping to provide real, long-term, security for each of us, both in terms of continuing employment, as well as pension and healthcare concerns. Thank you for those good years you provided me! My best personal regards."

"Compared to other big recruitment offices around the world, Flight Crew International (FCI) showed how things can be handled – short, precise, and direct. My application with Flight Crew International (FCI) to apply for a B737NG Captain position with Ethiopian Airlines, Addis Ababa was a very good experience. Before attending, very precise documents were handed out to me (4 files each) from FCI – clear, short, and informative. Boarding the ET 707 flight FRA-ADD and getting First Class service bound for Addis Ababa was just nice. Could someone imagine some old days with Pan Am 🙂 Arriving to a different society in Addis Ababa than Europe though greeted with a smile and easiness and the arrival and hotel accommodation was carried out smoothly. Thanks to Flight Crew International (FCI) for a nice plan to become familiar with a pilot screening – far away from home!"
Captain Bjarne Lastein
B737NG Commander, Ethiopian Airlines
"I would like to express my thanks for a job well done. The service, knowledge, and follow-up provided by my FCI Recruitment Consultant made it a pleasure to work with FCI.

It really does work!"
Saeed Zahedi

"As a pilot who is currently working in the contract world of flying it is a very demanding business. Not only to provide the clients with the service they are a custom to but have the support team in place to help make it happen. The Flight Crew International (FCI) team has the drive and support for the flight crew members to be successful. The crew support that I have received on the trips done for FCI have been above and beyond what I have come to expect from other operators. The owner of FCI is hands on and is involved in the day to day operations. While working contract for Flight Crew International I was always paid in a timely manner and truly felt like a member of a team with the same goals."
