Here is another way to beat a dead horse. I have heard that if you apply to an individual state for an ATPL it may be easier. Then once you have been issued a state ATPL (Greece for example) you can then get a JAA ATPL quite easily.
Is this true? Or am I missing a major point?
My goal, just like everyone elses, is to get a JAA but trying to avoid the fuss and $$$.
I have also heard that if you were to go over and get a type rating through a EASA approved course, you would then be given time to get your JAA (1 year waiver) possibly. Any truth to this?
Pretty much sums it up.
