In the end...

Hello again.
Iveh ad some weeks to think and sleep on it now. I have everything ready, but...

What happens if you return after two years. You have 1500 hours of single engine VFR and maybe 500 hours Caravan time.
Id this really an advantage if you apply to an airline? It's been two years since your MCC course so you must have forgotten it. 1500 hours of SE VFR time isn't really an advantage, since youll be flying jets. And the Caravan is probabbly single pilot time.
Plus youve flown in Africa where there's practically no ATC and airspaces are as big as the country it self.
Can one even bring the hours in for a JAA/FAA license? Plus I will be loosing my multi engine and medical after a year.

So looking at the 'hourbuilding', what kind of 'experience' do you really have through the eyes of an big airlines' interview panel?

Can anyone who has flown in Africa and is nowing 'flying buses' enlighten me on this?

These are rather negative thought but hey, it's not a descicion to be rushed!
