But pointless having FAA if you want to live and work in europe.
Especially now the EASA rules are changed.
Couldn't agree more. After my research on where to train (and I haven't started yet) I came to the conclusion that to do it outside Europe one must have all the money ready at hand, whilst if you must raise the money during training the only option is to stay in your own country (unless that country doesn't offer flight training). So i find it pretty senseless to mention that flight training is achieved professionally only in, say, the US.
Jobwise, I disagree that in Europe there are no options for pilots. In the last month I have seen TWO jobs advertised on this very forum (Italian section) and successfully assigned to someone. Now, if a pilot's vacancy can be filled through an online forum I believe the situation is not so desperate as someone wants it to look like. Maybe it's all down to the same old thing: you need an ethic and professional attitude when seeking for a job, and you might get it.
