Hmm, i think there is a thing you can do in europe you can't in the us.
Do a abinitio training, get 200 Hours, get a job on a 737/A320/757. Work for a year and become training F/O etc.
My former CFII was a bit envious as we met in Daytona. He was doing his conversion to Captain Beech 1900D (not a bad plane at all) and i was doing my type-rating on the B737. But as i said, i had only 200 hours at this time.
There are differences between Europe and the US in more than one way.
