Hard question.
But, the shortest answer is something like this:
-at least, you must go for JAA CPL(H) with ATPLH frozen theory, and ME/IRH (if you want to go offshore);
-aeroplane flight time = 0 point, but it will help you to save some time (you only need a bridge for ATPL theory from A to H), and some money (when doing IR-H, you will need to do only 10h transition from IR(a) to IR(h);
-when you will go for ME/IRH, try to do that on some "popular" type, for example EC155, after which you will easier find an offshore job in EU, or on B412 (in Brasil);
-all that is not so cheap job, but you probably know that; maybe the best place for you is Bristow Academy Florida;
-if I was in your place, when finish all that, I would go for job in Brasil (I think, easier and better solution for you); because that market is quite closed for all others;
-remember, you must do all this steps in the process
But, my question to you is, are you really at the age of 63?
