I am currently a 737 captain for a US carrier. I'm 32 years old, and my personal life is taking me to Europe.[/QUOTE]
..I went through this validation / conversion process some time ago; for me it was one of the hardest things I´ve done in my 30+ yrs of flying..Those 14 exams are very, very tough, compared to the FAA tests..You will have to seriously study, before you will be ready to take them..
..You are still young, and getting PIC-time in a 737..Cannot tell anybody what to do, but If I was in your shoes, I would stay in the US, or get a commuting job and live in Europe..Good luck..!!
Fly safe,
B-757
