One big difference between the US and Europe is, you do not need a CPL to be a flight instructor.
You can do it with a PPL and a Flight Instructor License. You will need a obligatory navy sweater with leather patches and epaulets though.
As for Air Taxi in Europe, (pt 135 in the US), I don't know that business.
But when I was waiting for my green card to be processed in Britain. I had a Lear Jet pt 135 letter and about 500 hours on type and a PIC type rating for a Citation.
I went looking for work at Biggin Hill where Bernie Eclestone of British Motor Racing Developments who had a Lear Jet N2FU.
After the reception I got, I wouldn't have worked there for anything. N2FU Bernie
So I went to Luton where a US registered Citation, Sabreliner and Jetstar were based.
The receptionist called the Police when I tried to put resumes/CVs in their office mailbox.
The worst reception I ever got was Trans Arabian Air Cargo in Hayes who operated DC-8s from Stansted.
I didn't mind getting yelled at by the boss for looking for a job. But I did feel sorry for the people who did work there for having to put up with him everyday.
I got my green card at the US Embassy at 12 noon and was on a Pan-Am 747 to New York at 4pm. I couldn't wait to get out of there.
