Default Moving to Switzerland...

...not me, but a friend of mine from Texas is moving to Switzerland to work for Pilatus in April. He showed me on the map where the company is located, but I forget the name of the town. It's in the central-west part of the country.

I know there are a couple of people here that are Swiss, do any of you guys live anywhere near Pilatus?

If so, I'd like to pass on Matthew's email address. I met Matt when I first moved over here - he's from the UK like myself and we were in the same hotel when we first got here, thus we became good friends.

He's not a big car person but better than most as he at least insisted on a manual gearbox! He drives a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse V6.

Anyway, let me know if any of you guys live anywhere near and I will pass on his email by PM. I think he has a couple of friends already working at Pilatus but other than that he doesn't know anyone in CH.

Merci!

Well I am in the western part of Switzerland and no idea where Pilatus headquarters are located LOL.

If you'll find out in detail, let me know, but for sure he can contact me if he need help (not if it is German-speaking realted though, since I suck at it )

edit, ok, it must be in Stans, that's 220 km from here, so basically central Switzerland. So either he isn't at the headquarters and they also have offices near the french part, either it's definitely not toward the western part

Yup, Stans is pretty far away, just south of Zurich (and Zurich is already considered by some to be on the eastern side of Switzerland).

Stans is the place. When I read the name it reminded me!

Sorry, my geography is rubbish!
