Ah... the eternal question, JAA or FAA?
Guys,
I was wondering whether to do an FAA or JAA PPL/FI. Are there more positions for low hour FI's in the US? I'm more then willing to work in the US as an FAA instructor to build hours and then come back to do the JAA licenses later when I have 500+ hours. I have both Class 1 medicals, and I know a frozen ATPL isn't worth spit in the US. But instructing isn't that bad is it? I've been told that approximate FAA FI earning figures range from 800-2000 dollars per month, and I'd be building the all important hours. Flying for a US airline wouldn't bother me either... as long as I'm flying, I'm happy. Bottom line: Is there a realistic chance of getting an FAA FI position with low hours?
