Scoobster,

There are opportunities in the UK on Biz aircraft. Many are N reg, or there is now the Isle of Man M (Manx) reg that accept any ICAO licence. The M reg are specifically for the Biz market, offering tax advantages etc.

There is also opportunities in the Middle East and maybe Africa. However to get an airline job might not be that easy.

Problems you will come against (as any job seeking pilot) is hours and experience and the reality is it will be hard at the best of times even with a shiney CAA class1 in your hand and about 60 grand to play with.

Don't let it put you off. There is a lot of great and challenging flying to be had outside the airlines and if you are determined enough and put in enough energy you WILL succed.

All the very best to you mate.
