I dont know if this makes much of a difference but his goal hasn't been to become a pilot in the US. Its been to become a pilot in Europe...though his licence is an FAA one and it is not converted. I'm thinking the route to take in Europe is the same....but I guess I'll post my question there and see. My husband is a member on this forum though...he's the one that told me about it. I dont think he comes on anymore though.
