I there -

I´ve done the CPL(H) in Brasil, because it costed about half of what would cost in Europe , but now the difficulty in getting a job and the demand of converting it to JAA, it´s making it very expensive!! I assume, It was a bad idea...but was the only way of doing for lack of $. Anyway, i already did some flying in Brasil as an instructor in a temporary job. In fact i´m shooting CV´s to every helicopter company in Brasil, but the only jobs available are for oil platform transportation, for wich is mandatory to have IR, what i don´t have. As my JAA ATPL theory should take about a year more, always "burning" money to do it, one of this days i will have to sell the flying gear to insist on beeing a pilot .... Thanks for your help
