I am currently in the process of converting may FAA ATP to JAA ATP. It seems that in the light of the past months I made the right decision to invest more money into this career. It's seems that the airlines in the United States are really not the place to be anymore. The pay has been slashed in half and work rules are out the door as well. Half of the people at my regional are leaving overseas. Do you guys/gals think that being a airline pilot in the United States will essentially become a bus driving job that only rich kids can afford to undertake?
