Iīm American with FAA certs, and about 4 months away from getting my JAA licenses. If I hadnīt just moved to Europe and my wife hadnīt just started her own business, Iīd ask you for a job. Good luck.
By the way, it says your down in Carlsbad. Thereīs a FAA/JAA outfit down there at Gillespie. Scandinavian Aviation Academy, scanavia.com . It says their JAA program takes 18 months. 10 months sounds pretty tight, but I think doable if you really develop the program well.
