Just another slant....
New CPL graduates with 200 hours as we all know have to be very lucky to find jobs, so anyone with a J1 Visa, i would suggest you use it. There is also the other question about what type of flying goes on in the UK..?
Well, there is the OffShore option and there is the VIP market. Police and EMS (Which is another niche market) with little utility flying jobs. All of these require a few hours under the belt, which the new graduate is unlikely to get into, unless they have golden balls.
The remaining shortfall is fed by the ex-military chaps with the experience and therefore makes it hard for the new graduate to be lured back and remain within the UK market.
A definate supply and demand situation withe the old chicken and egg scenario going on. Lets not get sucked into the old JAR argument of who has the hardest exams etc..
As he stands back and waits...
