I finished off my CPL/MEIR at Bristol in February of this year, then I completed my FI rating by late summer. I havent been able to secure any Instructional work at all in the UK, as i'm sure many others have also experienced.
I'm looking into the possibilty of converting my ratings/License so that I could instruct in the USA. I did my hour building out in Arizona in 2008 and I loved my time out there.
I can't see any instructional work coming my way in the UK for the foreseeable future. I'm willing to do what ever it takes in terms of relocating/converting/retraining, after what has been a very frustrating, unproductive year.
Has anybody else gone down this path? How awkward was it and how much retraining/conversion training was required? Did it work out, despite all the conversion and visa issues?
Thanks
Jon.
