Hi to all!
My name's Alejandro, I'm from Dominican Republic, 25 yrs old; I have been reading this forum for some time and wow! it's truly great!
I have a couple of questions and was hoping somebody could give me the right infos.
I'm considering getting my CPL (with IFR and ME) down here and then possibly get the CFI in the US. Will my foreign CPL be acepted by the FAA? I got the PPL in Texas, and having it validated here was a matter of a 2hrs checkride and familiarization flight, but I don't know how it works the other way around. Also, once validated in the US, will people look down on my CPL because it was taken outside the US?
And last, is it possible for foreign pilots (I have italian citizenship) to obtain work in the US? Maybe starting as CFI, then moving to Part 135 freight or regional and so on, the usual ladder.
Any other ideas/suggestions/infos are greatly apreciated!
Best regards
Alejandro
