baron: tough spot. Would it be at all possible to take the Lufthansa job and work on your JAA conversion while working in Germany? Maybe wind up instructing or even flying charters on the weekends over there? I've met a number of european expats in flying and the consensus seems to be that flying is even more "who you know not what you know" than it is here. Combine that with the much lower average hours of pilots in the EU and the networking you could do at Lufthansa, and maybe you could have your cake and eat it too? That said, imho, it's never too late to fly, but you only get one set of parents. I wish I'd had more time with mine and done more to make the older years better. I'm sure you'll know what to do when the time comes to make a decision. Viel gluck!
