I would say.....
Before you send an enormous amount of money on getting a FAA cpl, Are you sure that you will get a JAA medical later........
Not so easy getting a job with a FAA cpl .........
Will the JAA and the FAA ever make it simpler to convert.......?
Where else can i work with a FAA cpl, if not the States........?
DCA only does FAA, l believe FS do both. You could also try Cabair ( OFT ) at Kissimmee ......they do both
Not sure that a lot of smaller schools sponsor J1...........
