EASA and FAA Training Simultaneously
Hi all! New here. Zero hours.
I'm looking to go ATP. I will be getting my Spanish citizenship so I'd like to be licensed on both sides of the pond. My understanding is that you can fly for the airlines in the EU with less hours. Eventually I think I'd come back stateside. I spoke to the Hillsboro Flight School and it looks like they are almost set to offer training/licensure for both at the same time but I live in South Florida. Is anyone aware of any other schools that offer this? Thanks! |

Another alternative for you might be to simply convert the JAR licence to FAA; once you have a full ATPL you can skip straight to doing ATP CTP, written exam and flight test. Seems easier than doing the whole thing from scratch twice? Good luck whatever you do anyway. |
My understanding is that you can fly for the airlines in the EU with less hours. In the EU they don’t have the 1500 rule as they have in the US but that comes with a big caveat, where and with whom you’ve done your training. Some airlines have preferred suppliers from which they draw and they require less hours. But don’t think that you’ll easily get hired with 250hrs. |

Ask for Ulf if you call and he can explain more. |

That depends.

My source for this is my having been management at a smallish Euro regional with a cadet programme, and from speaking to FO's at my present outfit who regret the price premium paid for integrated training and bemoan the lack of any meaningful improvement in employment prospects it (didn't) give them. |
You seem to say it is one extreme or the other. I remember many times when it was someplace in between.
