-Back to the US do the IR, train for commercial and CFI.
-Work as a CFI.
-Work on a Tuna Boat.
-Get UK and EASA CPL. which is a ****E load of work
Going integrated will cost a lot more.
Thanks Good grief for that link, quite detail heavy but I'll chug through it.
Why do you say that it'll be cheaper to follow a modular approach? For example at Hillsoboro in the US they gave me costings of around $86,000 for the full FAA program (inc. CFI), with an extra 16,000 euros or so for the EASA bit (frozen ATPL). It seemed pretty good compared to the prices I'm getting in the UK or France
