TogaButton,
Im sorry to hear your being discriminated against. I suppose that happens, in any country, it happens in the Carib for me. Atleast you have some Ratings now. If the U.S. doesnt work out, there is still the whole world out there. A Boeing for me would be Ticket to the World.
My problem is that the F.A.A. is recognised in more countries the other licences. But my FAA ATP is useless unless I get a Type Rating over 12,500lbs! I wish I was in your shoes. Sounds nuts but its true.
Regards
Sheep
P.S. Was your training self sponsored?
