I know i need hours but when will it stop ?
Instructing is not an option, i have to earn a living. this JAR atpl already cost me a fortune.
From my estimates, 500 hours were not so bad in Europe. It seems in Europe you need the license AND the hours (at least 1500 ) or be the chief pilots daughter best friend!

Ronchonner : i have flown in the US as ppl some years ago, when the dollar was really cheap. I enjoyed it. Now the dollar exchange rate is not very favourable. Also, without a green card you are going nowhere in the US, or you have to marry a yank woman.
I dont think the situation is much better in the US especially for an European.
