What’s going on here?
I’ve been in contact with a couple of training organizations and have been told that before I can start my conversion, I have to get approval from their respective CAAs. These CAAs have told me that I’m not able to start until I provide them with a letter from my current employer who is a national operator within that countries CAA. This creates a catch 22 syndrome. How do I get the job without the qualifications and how do I get the qualifications without the job???
All I can think is that these countries have recipical agreements with the USA. Since the USA requires letters from the employer for advanced training, they require the same from potential USA customers… Is the UK or Spain under this same policy?
Now what? Looks like more politics and red tape to cut through along with the level of difficulty increasing…
