Advice needed on North Sea and tuna boats
Hello everyone
I am about to start a JAA integrated ATPL(H) course and would like to fly the North Sea. I am prepared to pay to put myself through an IR but apart from that, bearing in mind I will have low hours, what will I need to do to be in a position where employers will consider me?
After getting my CPL and IR I was intending to hour build by doing the tuna boats but I dont know how easy that will be as I will still be a low hour pilot (although I can speak spanish but not fluently yet).
Also, if I do manage to get onto the North Sea, what sort of pittance will they be paying me for all my trouble.
And before I forget, is a FAA or a JAA more useful?
Any help and advice you can give me will be much appreciated.
cheers

Just realised my mistake, I meant: is a JAA or an FAA Instrument Rating more useful, I\'ve heard conflicting reports.
