FAA & EASA - Do I finish my FAA & find work in another country or convert?
Hi all, in a bit of a weird one at the minute. Would love some good advice!
Basically long story short, I went to Florida to complete my flight training. I have an FAA PPL & IR and 183 hours under my belt and I could finish the CPL & ME in a month.
I'm from England and I've just come back here with intentions of doing my EASA ATPL's. Now I have several friends that have been through all the exams no issues, except one friend who's going through it now and is saying quadrant is pretty much screwing everyone over and it's twice as hard. He then questioned me as to why I'm not finishing my FAA CPL to build hours and work towards an airline job somewhere.
So in brief, do I finish off my EASA ATPL's, and end up with a easa fATPL and full FAA CPL/ME/IR/PPL, or do I try and pursue an aviation career in another country? FAA is ICAO so I assume it's rather easily transferable as long as the country I'm in is ICAO compliant?
Appreciate the help, cheers guys.
