Mauntown -

To back up what Luke is saying, best stay put and get some ME time if you can. Not to denigrate turbine time at all, but if you can get some more experience (IFR/ME) before heading back to Europe, it will stand you in good stead.

I'm around 1200hrs TT, have about 850 multi piston in Air Taxi (Chieftains) and can't get even a sniff of a job in the UK right now. I para-drop to keep current but thats it. Its a dry baron waste land out there at the moment - even the smaller operators (possibly not surprisingly) are battening down the hatches.

Keep on building, concentrate on IFR stuff if you can and sit tight keeping current until this mess in Europe sorts itself out.
