Hi all,
I am sure many of you who are regular on here will have seen these questions many times before, but frankly i am only interested in answers to my questions and not somebody elses.
I have not been on here for a while, as it is hard to swallow people slating their jobs as pilots when i am back driving trucks:ugh:
I have had a chat with a friend who is employed in the states as a CFI, but he is unable to answer all my questions, so i thought with the combined knowledge of everybody on here i might get some answers.
Basicaly i have a NZ CPL(H) at 152Hrs on the H300. I havnt flown for 18 months now and am desperate to get back in the air and to be paid for doing it!! However money as allways is a factor IE I dont have much:{ :{ .
What i would like to do is go to the states convert, study and get CFI, get employed and then get IF rating.
But it seem the USA's policy on visas is going to be a stumbling block.
DOES ANYONE KNOW A WAY ROUND???
Does anyone have any better suggestions for a path to that first elusive job?
I have considered back to NZ or OZ or maybe canada, anyone with experience of these routes? Please share your story.
And finally to all thouse doubters and 'pint is half empty' types,
I WILL suceed, i WILL find a way and nothing you can say will make me doubt that. I have worked damned hard to get this far and i will not stop now.
P.S I am based in the UK if that makes any difference.
Please please please help. I am not afraid of reasearch but if there are people out there willing and able to point me in the right direction i would appriceate the help.
Thanks in advance.:ok:
