Many thanks!
Many thanks for all of the replies guys...!!
Re: the visa, another problem I anticipate is if I do an intensive 2 week course in Florida (as I work full time), I'm just a bit concerned at the relative quality against doing it more spaced out in the UK??
Also, I've been told that due to the perfect weather in the US, when you get back to the UK you are going to need some 'conversion' hours in any case, just to get used to the UK weather. In the words of my first instructor at Cabair in Elstee...the US trained guys 'don't have a clue'...although I'm sure that's an exageration!
On a slightly seperate note, would any of you have opinions on how airlines would view candidates who have been on a paying first officer position...I know it's been discussed before but just thought I'd get your views??
Thanks again.
