Gentlemen !
What can I say, thanks for the advice and comments
McD - Thanks. in answer to your question the long term aim is to stay within the US long term, ideally flying for a MEDIUM sized operator (737 - 757)and enjoying life the american way. As mentioned I do have a green card and need to refresh the CPL.
The only reason Phoenix was mentioned is due to the fact that it appears to be one of the main growth regions in the states at the moment. However I'm willing to go to any area that could offer me the prospect of a flying position ( any comment ? )
XL5 - Your comments on the UK system are noted and I agree that the FAA system is more geared to practical skills. Flying in the states is more enjoyable and certainly less regulated by small people in big jobs !
Once again guys thanks and I'm sorry for the delay in replying ..... I was watching Cable !!
Be safe and try some Tea instead of coffee !
