Flight School in EU or US as US citizen living in EU
Been an avid reader for a while now and finally decided to register and I had a couple of questions.
I am 36 year old US citizen living in Finland as a permanent resident as my wife is Finnish. I would like to begin the long grind of becoming a commercial pilot but prices here in Finland are astronomical (25k for PPL)
Would it be wiser to go to a school in US and convert to EASA later? Leave Finland and go integrated in a cheaper country in the EU? Are permanent residents considered to have the right to work in EU? Go modular and to distance learning for my studies?
I am nearing the wrong side of 30 and would like to make the most logical decision here. Thanks for any input or advice and sorry for the long post.
