Hi All, this is my first posting on the Prune Network. I interviewed for the Brookfield contract up at EMA recently and am writing this message from my home in the U.S. I'm a 14,000 hour pilot with most of it in 737's and most of it in the left seat. I have about 2,500 hrs command time in 737-700's and just quit my U.S. job in October so I'm still current. It's all U.S. experience, and I have never even looked at the study material for the JAA conversion -- my "other full time job" for six months if I take the contract, which is in on my desk awaiting signature. My primary aims are probably quite different from most of yours: I'm single, early 40's, really love visiting Europe, and actually wouldn't mind living out of my suitcase for a couple of years, get my JAA lic., see lots of new places, then come back to my ranch in California. I know I'll be working like a dog, but my question out to you all is: does this seem like a reasonable plan, given my motivations? Open to all responses.
Cheers.
