Hi guys,
I am Irish and completed my flight training in Australia and have a CPL and MECIR. I have yet to do my ATPL subjects as I have been giving great thought about weather I should even get an ATPL from an ICAO country as I can't seem to find a job for the past year with my low flying hours, but then again maybe i am more marketable with the ATPL subjects done.
I have been thinking of doing the 14 JAR ATPLS and converting my license over. What do you guys think would be the better option? My main goal is to land a job somewhere! A lot of the time nationality comes into play for these cadet schemes and it leaves me frustrated with my ICAO license :ugh:, like why did I even train in Australia if I can't work there or better yet why do they even offer training to different nationalities...
Anyways I want to get this show on the road this decade and I do not mind paying for type rating if it gets my foot in the door to make a start. If i went JAR I am thinking possibly Ryan Air or something. I remain indecisive with regards to what qualification (JAR/ICAO) I should get the ATPL in....help.
