Thanks granlistillo. My fiancée and I are making sure we have a decent amount in savings before I make the jump to a regional. She has a reasonably well paid job, thus it being quite hard to move to a hub city initially. We're uncertain as to whether the move to the US will be permanent, or just for 2 or 3 years at the moment. It all depends on how the industry is looking on both sides of the Atlantic and when having kids starts to come into the equation. I'll definitely be applying to PSA though.

I'm already making arrangements to get the FAA conversion done. It doesn't seem like too complex an exercise when compared to converting the other way. The JAA conversion is ridiculous, there is no way an experienced airline pilot should be made to do 14 irrelevant ground school exams, 15 hours of IR training and an additional 5 hours of CPL training plus the two checkrides.

I really appreciate all the help everyone has given me on this thread. If I can be of any assistance to anyone, please just let me know.
