liftman,
Do you have an approximate idea of how much money you need to spend for this?
I know plenty of people in Italy that have hours, type ratings, offshore, Hems and a lot of experience but still can't get a job...
I don't want to discourage you, I just want to help you make an informed decision.
My motto is: "If there is a will there is a way!" but it can be very hard and the rewards can be quite low
