JAA license in the US
Hi all!
I was furloughed by a major airline here in Europe a couple months ago, and haven't been able to find a new job since. I've got a JAA CPL/IR with "frozen" ATPL, 1200hrs TT of which 1000hrs on A320. As I am a dual citizen, and own an American passport, I am now considering moving to the States, to try my luck there.
Is it possible to convert my JAA license to an FAA, or do I have to take all the checkrides again in the US? If latter's the case, has anyone done this already or knows a good and reasonably priced place that offers such courses for experienced pilots?
How do you reckon my chances to find something in the US?
Appreciate any replies! ABD
