CPL or ATPL professional advice please
Hi
I’m currently working on my business degree in NY .I will hopefully finish it by summer.I’m looking forward to get myself in aviation industry as a pilot and I see there are different ways of doing it. Since my citizenship country requires having a JAA ATPL to work there in major airlines. Im little bit confused about how I will get started on that(because of the financial differentiation). I also have an option getting green card by my girlfriend. I don’t really mind working overseas if I could.
So that’s what I got in my mind so far
1- get a CPL in SA or somewhere else where I could afford -start building hours by getting any job that would help me to build ours .actually what would be the chances of getting a job if I say I got what it takes to build ours in anywhere with my CPL ----- ---------I really need your comments especially on that one because lets say everything just went fine till this point and what would be the procedure to convert my cpl to ICAO ATPL in everyway as in financial too
2- Get a green card and save some more money –get FAA ATPL and try to do what
All Americans do in this industry to get themselves in major airlines
I appreciate for your comments
Thanks
