O8,
If I could exchange my NZ CPL & instructors rating to a UK equivalent then I would be there in in a shot. With a right to abode, everyone says "..get over to the UK" but to get where I am now I have fully loaned myself to the devil and his wife. I have enquired about converting, even getting my logbook assessed, but it would cost me the same again to convert to the BCPL/AFI and thats not possible. But if they opened it up to qualified intructor pilots then they would have no probs getting people.
