If family is more important than money, there's nothing better than working in your town and being home every evening.
thanks Barry for your reply, i've seriously thought about Bartolini but im not sure of their salary, but yes i will definitely try with them after i finish my license conversion .

As someone living in Poland who has converted an ICAO to EASA you should apply for the exams as soon as possible. With your hours and ATP license you can self-sponsor and go directly for the exams (1068zł). You can only do this while your rating is still valid. The practical isn't so cheap or easy but you have plenty of time to plan that once the exams are out of the way.
I think there are better options and to be honest as a foreigner in Poland even with EU passport it's a very discriminating place. But to each his own..
yes Hawker i already sent my application to the ULC but it's been 1 month and now one sent me back, i will call them or even go to their office, but yes i will definitely finish the conversion asap . thanks .
