Actually the JAA is desired by more air carriers and is not that expensive. There's a school in Maldives that will get you from Zero to ATPL for less than US$ 50,000.

I do ATP licenses in Seattle area for $1999 (less than ATP inca rate) and I have a pretty fair examiner.

I also have a jaa atpl program. Not to violate the forum rules I would like you to personal message me so that I am for you details.

Those in Asia that are interested in hiring contract pilots usually take FAA/ICAO with no problems. What they desire / require for their "cadets" I don't know. Perusing the current want-ads shows most that are hiring taking both. All of the Indian carriers were, too, although expat hiring there is now at a standstill.

I'll be glad to bring you from "zero to ATP" for 50K. You'll have to pay me in advance. After all, it's not that expensive. :D:eek::rolleyes:

That include all time-building? ATP MEL or SEL? How much if I already have a private?

$50,000.00 - I have to verify your knowledge. This includes the "100% in advance discount".:D

MEL, SEL, what's the difference? 50K isn't that much, anyway, according to a previous poster. :)

Be careful... Some schools advertise JAA training, but if the country is not a signatory of the JAA or the school is not an approved FTO via an Authority of a JAA signatory, it is perhaps "JAA compliant" but not a license recognized in Europe as a JAA license.

Some non-JAA countries are starting to copy the JARs, but they are not signatories. If you don't plan on using the license in Europe, then it is probably a moot point though.

If you were to go with JAA, where and how do you actually take the test. (those 14 that were mentioned earlier in this thread). Are there US flight schools that are authorized to give them?
