Striker26,
In what ways do you thing GCAA would be a better route for me? Airlines in the gulf region are either hiring through their cadet programs or hiring experienced FAA/TC/ICAO/EASA 1500+hr ATPL holders.
Financially wise, out of the tens and hundreds of schools that I've filtered, the most cost effective training that could be done were the ones in the USA or Canada. (taking into consideration no further conversion will be needed and the first flying job would be in that specific country).
fuelsurvey,
Indeed, chances are out there but it is a hit and try. The problem arises if you couldn't get that flight instructor job with the school that you were trained at. Is the person that you flew with currently working for a regional airline? if yes, what kind of aircraft type is he flying?
