You do not need to have our EU passports and our European ATPL as I have or my older brother. All you need to do is to contact directly the airlines, and basically, at latter take the GVT permission from any EU Ministry which shall help you in flying. And you need to get our Schengen residency visas at a consulate or at a spot. So a best way is to come to our EU. And people will help anyway. ALL the applicants from abroad goes through the hands of a Ministry. Or the airlines you have chosen will apply on your behalf to a MInistry anyway. SO, for us all these aviation offices and etc... these companies and etc... are not really being taken out that serious. By the way, is it common in US for the people to go through these additional cooperating companies? IS it cheaper? Do people need to pay them? Are they providing anyone with an accurate information?

Thanks for the information about Europe. My girlfriend is Danish and works for SAS in a non-flying position. Hoping things work out long term. If so I would probably move to Copenhagen, so I'd love to be able to fly in Europe. What is the best route to take for getting a European license?

Sorry could not answer the question earlier remain busy. Yes, a best way to get a european license, is at first notrify your american one at the Ministry of Aviation of EU, instead of going again and again for the courses which might be expensive or too expensive. Then, if the Ministry at EU agrees with your license, you will receive an approval, or you shall be suggested that you should improve your knowledge about EU and they will provide you with the entire information for non EU license holder. However, the best way is to go via the Ministry anyway. Had been busy cause I started to look for one american former mili.flier, I met when I was 17, and I had a permission of EU for him to fly with us me only winter and summer, and basically, I think I almost had found a person, I opened my diary , and then had sent an email to gvt community association where I saw his name, and that where he lives and asked this association to contact me in December when I will be at my cockpit with my older brother. I said this association that he must fly anyway. That was his dream and still is, I just know it, but I said clearly that it has nothing to do with any youth feeling since, people change, but I know that he needs a help and he will receive a help anyway.
