I'm planning my flight training at the moment (from zero hours) and don't have buckets of cash to throw about. The US seems the way forward for me but I wondered how far I can go over there as I intend to come back to the UK and look for work here. Here is my rough plan, am I dreaming?
Train (JAA) initially in the US until able to commence ATPL distance learning course, for which I'll return to the UK (for a year?). Return to US and continue training then instruct for hour building. (hopefully) leave with frozen ATPL and walk into a F/O job in the UK.
Only joking about the last bit, I actually relish the idea of working on smaller a/c and working my way up.
Your thoughts on my marketability in the UK after completing the vast majority of training in the US please?
