hi all, sitting here with 2k vis, snow and freezing even inside has just made me wonder about work abroad. although i'm more than happy instructing in the uk, it's days like this that make your mind wonder...

does anyone know of any opportunities overseas? which countries will allow us to work/can we operate in using our jar licenses?

thanks, b bear

wow it's like christmas again

i have recently been talking to an owner of a flying school down in Jerez, Spain, he was looking for an FI a few weeks ago so I did think about it.

he reckoned on 4-5hrs flying a day and most of the students spoke good English or were English. He was also in the process of starting CPL/IR courses.

Why don't you try Oz - nice and warm most of the year round.

There are also 3 schools in Malaysia. But working conditions and professionalism can be poor. Salary is acceptable because cost of living is very low, if you have no loan to reimburse in Europe, it can be interesting.
(MFA, HMA, Asia Pacific Training in Kota Bahru). A fourth school has been announced in Sarawak, but not yet operational.
China (Panam) is also recruiting, numerous threads, salary around 2,000 US$ but environment and working conditions poor.
In few months, a JAR standard school, depending of an University, will open in NE Thailand, but too early to know the conditions.
