Maybe so but you're painting a very pretty picture. Not dissing FAA training, I did all mine in California but the fact remains that it's such a major hassle and expense to convert that you don't really end up saving all that much, if anything. Which is how it's supposed to work. Then doing a P2F and job in 2 years.....just because you know some guys who pulled it off doesn't mean it's like that for most people. I'd be over the moon to get a job "paying my dues" flying mail in a Seneca but that is extremely difficult to find even if you have the JAA/EASA licence. As for working overseas, it's far more difficult nowadays to get a start due to immigration issues etc and even then you would need quite a few hours. Lets get a bit of reality going here.
