- Fly back in Europe? Then what is involved in converting that license to EASA? How much would it cost, and would you have to fly dozens or hundreds more hours to get to the EASA CPL minimum requirements?

- Fly in Canada? Then do you have a work permit or a viable way to get one?
A 100 hour pilot with external load and turbine time?! Wow, send him down to the States so we can all fight over him!
