All sounds like good and sensible stuff. It has certainly helped with Europe opening up a little, so allowing those with JAA licences to work more freely.
No doubt it will be swings and roundabouts, but do you find that Africa tends to rely more on the FAA licenses or JAA?
Still very difficult tring to get the first few hundred hours multi and that can also trap you in the air taxi industry for longer than you might think.
One minute you dont have enough multi time and the next, you have an air taxi mindset and too used to working on your own, ie not multi crew, so your profile is wrong again for the airlines.
I am certainly considering things further afield now, hopefuly to find something very enjoyable as well as something that will stand me in good stead for a good development base.
I would be very happy to find a company where I can settle and develop within but maybe there are more stepping stones to go through yet.
Happy hunting folks!
