Gentleman,
I think you turned it into a political topic.
I am bulgarian and we were JAA member but not fully recognized. That changed 1 month ago, so now our licenses will be JAA approved...
I am not happy with the political/administrative and so on situation but I am trying to manage the stuff.
I am currently making my after-PPL-crosscountry flying and after that I will start the night and the IR programs.
In 1 month I have the ATPL exam, so wish me good luck! :-D
P.S. I flew the C-150, 152, 172RG and I'm more than happy dispite their age. :-)
P.P.S. Wizz Air will grow in the future, specially in Bulgaria, and yes- they take with 200h but again you have to know the right people I guess....
Happy flying!
