Bristol.gs and then practical training in the US?
I am a purser with a scandinavian airline since many years back. My lifetime dream has always been to work as a pilot. I have gained my PPL and have about 50 hours of PIC-time SE/VFR. Now, a few years away from my 40th birthday I think that I at least have the financial possibility to achieve this dream. I know getting a job will be hard but in 20 years time i don't se myself as captain of an A380. I would be happy to fly night cargo on a small turbo prop.
One possibility would be Bristol.gs ATPL as a distance cource and then do the practical I/ME/CPL in the US for a JAA-license. Have searched the web but do all schools only sell the full package? I can't stay more then a few months in the US as I have my full time job (on average about three days a week...) in europe.

Bristsol GS for the groundschool. They are undeniably the best in distance learning, arguably one of the top places to get your ATPL's in the UK.
Ideally, you want to do your training European airspace if that is where you are going to be working. It may seem more pricey, but by the time you go and get a foreign licence and convert it can all add up. If you want to do the JAA training in the US with an approved schoo, then you can, but it may have slightly less face value on your CV then having done it in Europe.

Sounds more like a nightmare then a dream to me.
Bosnia is OK if it's a fast turn around. Otherwise I stay out!
Any tips on schools in the US??? Florida, California, Arizona for training in Nov/Dec?
