re
Thanks to all of you for the answers. The thread is plenty of good news!!
I´m starting as soon as possible to get my private pilot license.
After that I´ll see which is the best way to get pro. Maybe studying in Europe?
I live in Uruguay and the school i´m going possesses coordination with Aerofan in Spain.
I have EU citizenship, which allows me to live and work in Europe and USA. I hope being able to work anywhere makes an advantage for me, I don´t mind to live in any country as long as I can fly.
Do you think it´s possible in Europe or USA to work and afford the cost of the course, or the time expended on the learning makes it impossible to work at the same time?
Any advices will be welcome. All opinions can be useful for me.
Here is some info from the school. What do you think about it?
