tanks for the replies btw.
if it doesn't work out with the caa, i'll start looking at the florida schools, or even the possibility of taking all FAA's, and converting them all, not sure if that's gonna be economically defendable though. would it be hard to get cpl/me converted? (i guess it's the same problem there, swedish atpl?)
another prob is that the florida ones seem quite a bit more expensive, and the conversion idea would probably be even worse. there's always spain/poland, some cheap european place, but i'm not confident of the quality there..really too bad it's such a hassle
