I recently moved from the US back to the Europe after working as a flight instructor there. I was more or less planning on staying in the US but it turns out the school's designated official for foreigners was very sloppy on my forms to the USCIS and there is no way i can fix it. So i'm now stuck in europe / germany with FAA ratings.
I guess the obvious solution is to get JAA ratings. The problem is i don't have the funds or means of paying for it at the moment to get to a level where i'd be 'attractive' for airlines.
So i figured i'd take a long shot and post here and see if anyone knows of any jobs / opportunities in the EU area that require FAA certifications - i suppose thats not to far fetched with all those International flight departments here ;). I'm pretty much open to anything involving flying - hell, i'm even considering going to the middle east to find work.
As for my qualifications - I have a Bachelor of Science in Aviation Business Management. Just shy of 900 total flight hours - 80 Multi/twin - 80 helicopter. Rated as an MEI for Airplanes and CPL for Airplanes & Helicopter.
So guys... what are my odds of finding work in the EU? :/
