JAA Conversion
 

Hi, sorry if this has been done to death but I did a few searches and couldn't find the right info.

As a UK resident currently living in Sydney I am looking at doing my CPL with Instructor Rating over here and then while working as an instructor I would like to to my JAA ATPL conversion/exams via Western Australia Aviation College, then I plan to return to the UK with my shiny new JAA licence and get a position in the airlines, the reason for my overconfidence?! My friend in the UK with 0 hours outside of his JAA training has just been accepted into a FO position with BA Connect and has started type rating training on the Embraer 145, so things seem to be looking good in Blighty.

Has anyone out there done what I am planning to do? Does anyone have an opinion on what the airlines think about JAA's gained through the conversion route?

Any advice, as ever much appreciated
