Yea, thanks. My girlfriend is actually European and we do plan on getting married anyways, hence why i really want to go there, cause she is not comming to the US, lol. I'll check out the Embassy site and the embassy, see if i can get everything settled. I do have a university degree in business/aviation, and it does say equilivant on the website, I will see what Berlin will say about showing a transfer of my degree if i need to. I know it's a lot of work ahead of me, but literally i have no option in the US, due to intagration lists that just came out, i will be stuck as FO regional pilot with brutal work rules/pay for at least 5-6 years before I can be captian, and US required PIC over anything to go anywhere, so it's actually easier for me to go there. As for the type, I will do my ATPL sim ride on my current type, which I have just under 2000 hrs on, probably on my next PC in a couple months, save a few bucks, make my company pay for it, haha, apparently that's what people are doing here. I've been over some hard hurdles before and there are americans going there, albeit not that much, I do know some of us go... and don't worry, I don't plan on being a usless immigrant that doesnt want to be part of the culture, I've actually been commuting back and forth to there for my girlfriend and I love the culture there, being a proper citizen. Not to mention Munich is the first place I had beer when i was younger at the Hofbrauhaus, hence why Germany has a place in my heart, haha
