Hi trolle,

The rumors are correct..i got a 737 job.
About the conversion FAA-JAA, you need to tell me your experience level.YOu may want to call the CAA office in Gatwick for further and more accurate response.They are rather quick to answer the phone..
If you have as i read a CPL FAA..you will need to seat all 14 exams.
I suggest if you have the possibility (time and money) to do it at OAT in the uK and full time.In 7 months youll be done..its a **** time but with efforts you ll get the hardest behind..also sharing a house with classmates helps a lot..always one in the house who knowsthe answer..
After that,youllhave to get your CPL(no minimum time..the better you are the quickest it is),do it inthe summer..winter is hell for VFR flying.
Then a minimum of 15 hours for your IR..bewrae the hour is very expensive..
Depending on your experience you ay want to consider a type rating..but you need a rather good backround for it to be usefull..

I dont see anything else at the moment..just remember it WILL pay off,just hang in there do your best..and one day when you least expect it..youll be flying a shiny jet with a top model for paint job...

Regards,
