I appreciate the advice. I currently have an ATPL (ATP Certificate Holder officially) however I have yet to convert my licenses to EASA. Aviation is really going downhill right now but I believe converting licenses while keeping my job is possible? That’s why I’m asking I guess; whether it would be better to stay at a US regional and eventually go to a US major, or stay at the US regional, convert my licenses, and come to the UK.
Of course I don’t plan to look for jobs in the UK atm until this situation clears up. Few months or a few years maybe, I just like to plan ahead.
