Alex,
Thanks for the response, i've taken a lot of time to make my decision and based on what i've read over the past few months and now what you've said I think I will be doing it all under EASA in the UK.
I've also just made contact with someone who I used to go to school with who is actually a FO with BMI. I had no idea until I saw him on Linkedin, so we're chatting and he's pretty much said the same as you!
At least i've had a bit of a holiday whilst living in Ohio
