I genuinely don't understand why someone would chose not to go where the jobs are plentiful.
Sounds like this comment I received yesterday while asking a question in a GA facebook group:
"We have a CASA to FAA conversion course and high demand for CFIs. Convert your license and complete instructor training in the USA. Instructors fly 80-100hrs a month so you can reach ATP minimums within 18 months of arriving.
We have a pathway program to Skywest who are taking applicants as they reach ATP minimums. They are also offering a $15,000USD tuition reimbursement to put towards your training and conversion.
So from where you are now, to flying Jets in about 18 months.

Thoughts?
