Bringing up this thread again post covid. Guess the journey for self-sponsored is way more tougher now.
I read a few posts here saying the FAA route is not the right way to go for self-sponsored CPL candidates. But I still don't really get it why is it so? If you can convert any ICAO CPL (which includes FAA) to CAAS CPL, why would it matter that the route to get a FAA CPL is not the right one?
