I would be very interested to see how this all pans out. As I would like to go to the US towards the back end of 2005 to start my training. I hoped to do an FAA PPL, FAA ME, FAA IR and then FAA CPL then convert to JAA back in the UK and undertake the ATPL stuff in the UK. I wont be able to do this now will I? Oh its all confusing!!!!
