Hi

I'm getting a little tired of trying to get the US schools interested in giving me a J1 visa. Seems that for all the adverts saying 'we will give you a J1 so that you can come and instruct for 2 years' the fact is.....er...well...er...maybe...possibly....er...dunno ! ! !

I've not given up yet but its time to think about other places. Now seeing as I eat about 100lbs of Biltong a week maybe SA would be a good place to consider ?

What I would like to do is to build upon my JAA PPL and get a CPL with IR and Multi and then look to hours build as an instructor to a point where a future employer stops looking at my age and more at my hours and flying history.

So dear friends what would you recommend as a good value school with good instructors + accomodation + area + possible instructor employment after the courses ?

Also anyone know how easy it is to turn a SA ME CPL IR CFI into a JAA ATPL ?

Cheers BMr
