Julian,

Any idea of exactly what Brussels wants to change ?

I suppose it all depends on what you want to do and present job prospects...
Personally, if I could get an FAA licence and have a very good chance of getting my first job on a jet A/c with a good salary abroad i'd be off to the US like a shot...but to be realistic, you can't!

The Uk on the other hand has this oppotunity.
As an Australian pilot said to me on my ATPL ground-school "the Uk is the only place I know where you can have a career change at 35 and still get a job on a jet!"

So I suppose we have to look big and pay those delightful JAA prices...I hate to sound money orientated and i'm not but the money is kind of important when you find the job you want because of the size of investment you've put into gaining the qualification.
