Do FAA hours count in Europe?
Hi There,
Can anyone please for once tell me what the deal is with my FAA hours? This is the thing, I basically have an FAA CPL IR ME SE. I have just passed the 14 ATPL exams, and now to work in Europe I need to convert my licence to JAR licence. I have decided to do the CPL conversion in Florida and the IR conversion in Spain. I want to know after I obtain this what my chances are of getting hired in Europe as a First Officer? The reason I ask is because someone said that my American hours will be frowned upon when applying for jobs in Europe. Is this true? Will a lot of my American hours not count? Please can someone shed some light on this for me?
Thanking you in advance,
Airmiles.
