GL,
maybe there should be 'So you want to be cojoe flying offshore in Nigeria?' thread.
I might actually reconsider NEO's words if I could make it with FAA CPL and min hours for RW CPL. I can always make it with about 80-100h with FW and rest CPL.
From what I see, there's only lil' extra dosh for being IR rated in FAA system when getting hours up. Why wouldn't someone do FAA IR after PPL?
Sure, they'd snap up every min hours FAA CPL without IR and TR for machines they fly, pay for everything to get you in cojoe seat.
I don't wanna be ironic as CM, but maybe, just maybe people should read few previous posts. Especially when more qualified guy is told that only maybe as cojoe for whatever reasons and they need expat captains with TR, time on machine and experience.
