Stuck
I'm hoping someone here can provide some insight/advice into this whole matter, as I'm confused as to what would be the best way forward.
Some background. I currently live in Florida, in my last semester of my undergraduate degree, and have a FAA Multi-Engine Commercial Licence with my Instrument Rating. I am also currently working on my CFI. My goal when I began the CFI training was to work at the school that I am currently doing the undergrad at under Optional Practical Training when my F1 Student Visa expires in August this year (Not U.S. Citizen or permanent resident.) I have dual nationality between a country in the Caribbean, and the United Kingdom.
I'm currently thinking about either staying in the U.S. and working as a CFI for 1/2 years before moving on to an airline job somewhere in the World, or converting my licenses to a frozen EASA ATPL with Florida Institute of Technology, and trying to get a job in the U.K with the hours that I would have at that point in time (roughly 250/260).
I would rather not CFI if there's a possibility of a job flying instead of teaching in the U.K, but at the same time I don't want to end up moving to the U.K. and not being able to get a job, or being stuck with EASA and Brexit bureaucracy.
Does anybody see any clear cut way forward, or the best way to go about this?
How's the hiring currently in the U.K. for low hour pilots? I know Jet2/Flybe/Ryanair are hiring, but what would be the chances at one of those airlines?
Thanks for anybody's help.
