Good day H1, thanx for the replies all you guys.
I have dual citizenship, so I can work and live in Europe. I have done my 12month military service when in Greece so no holdbacks there. I speak fluent Greek and English and quite good french. I have passed 5 JAR's so far and hopefuly I will have them all by March.
I want to get my IFR out of the way too so I can go and convert my licence soon after that.
Should I be looking at places like OAT where I can convert my licence and do an MCC and maybe a type rating if needed? They are very expensive but is their reputation worth it?
Or should I try and minimise the cost as much as possilbe and go to Egnatia in Greece for the conversion and look around for an MCC elsewhere.
Has anybody here gone to Europe and not trained in the UK? What if my licence was issued in Greece instead of the UK?Would it be looked down on?

Thanx again for any replies I might get...
