Potentially silly question, probably should be in Wannabes, but since the topic is instructor shortage, here goes...
Would it be possible for a reasonably experienced pilot from the colonies, with about 600hrs instruction time, come across to the UK (born there, so off the high horses) and get a job as an instructor while studying for the ATPL exams, and still survive on the income?
I can already convert my ATPL to a UK CPL, according to CAP54, but would the flying schools employ someone like me that they know would leave within six months?
Thanks in advance for any reasoned replies, even from 3aids, should you deign to answer!
