What will it take? About eight months full time and 20-30,000 USD; remember the dollar is weak right now. I can't understand why you'd want to do the conversion. With another 400 hours you'd meet US regional airline minimums. The grass is no greener on the other side of the Atlantic as far as jobs go. If I was in your position I'd keep the money in my pocket. Once you have 1500 hours and 500 multi crew the conversion becomes easier. So if your desperate to go JAA wait till then before converting.
