Thanks for the advice...
I was joking a bit with my comment about Westjet, but anyway, nonetheless, still would be a place, should I return to Canada, that I would like to look at. As far as the JAR licence in Florida, and to make things even more confusing, it sort of acts the same ways as possibly flying in the airforce does with how prospective employers view you. I've done my research with the training - I couldn't justify spending the money I have without doing so and one thing I have heard from many is that there are a lot of carriers in the EU, specifically the UK that frown on people who have accumulated most of their hours in the US... for what reason, I have no idea but that's what I've been told. Now of course I am sure there are exceptions as I believe Oxford (a leading flight training outfit in the UK) does most of their training in Florida or Texas - not sure which, and their graduates have a great reputation.
Either way, any route you choose there seems to be as many pros as there are cons! Too bad we couldn't just be told do this, do this, and do that and this is what you'll get out of it!
