Flyboy,
You may or may not be Ronchonner/Merchantloup.If you are not and haven`t had the pleasure of his inane ramblings,let me tell you a few things.
No-one has been asked me to spend loads of money trying to get a job in Aviation,it is a decision that I have made.I know the risks involved and the chances of getting a job are low.Yes it does cost a fortune for a JAA licence.No I don`t think FAA licences are any better or any worse than JAA,it is just I have no right to live and work in the US,so a FAA licence is not worth the paper it is written on to me as I can`t use it to get a job in a JAA country.Ronchonner/Merchantloup has been told this loads of times,BUT he doesn`t seem to understand.
