Hi stefair,
I too want to be a pilot and I wonīt be able to do my training here in Europe as I donīt have enough money!
Maybe US is a nice place!
Reagarding what you said I understood you were doing it modular.
Than why dont you do everything and leave your ATPL to do it in Europe?
You would still have your training cheaper except the ATPL part!
Pardon me if I understood it wrongly!!!
Cheers
