Hi,I have got an Indian CPL with king air c90a rating..since there is not much of any airline recruiting cpl holders as of now..would like to know if I could fly anywhere else..charter or something..at least to prevent my IR getting lapsed..
So what is the job market like for mechanics in the US at the moment? I am an Australian qualified AME (Airframe/Engines) considering my options at the moment.
Interested in FL (and immediate states if need be)
Are there any agencies/companies that deal specifically with foreign job hunters or am I better of waiting until I get there in March 2010 and canvassing in person?
Better to be here in person. You would need to check the A & P license conversion process if there is one.
There are always ads posted for mechanics.
Good luck.
I have already been looking into the FAA A&P conversion, but looks like I might just head over there before March initially for a couple of weeks in Oct-Nov and I will just go and talk to a few of the training schools over there about enrolling for the course in March.
What I don't understand is some employers listing Associate Degrees and/or Bachelor's degree's as a 'must-have' for a mechanics position? (this was for a rotary wing A&P job on UH1H's, something I have a few years experience with...)
A lot of places use a degree as a filter to cut down the number of candidates. You ought to see the discussion over here on some of the pilot boards about having a degree for a pilot job.
Hey guys just looking around to see if any one knows if any companies out there are hiring any drivers. I have 5,000hrs tt and currently flying the 737-800. Any info will be much appreciated. cheers
I would suspect that you have a lot more opportunity in India than here.. Many high time guys here are either desperate for work or flying for food... a typical ad for an experienced small turboprop pilot (That's a small turboprop not a small pilot) will result in 200 to 300 responses...
I find that if I apply for a position that I'm more than qualified for in EVERY respect it's unlikely that I'll even get a response, not even a "no thank you"...Fortunately I'm employed...
The streets of the US are not paved in gold... in fact Europe is a much better place to work if you get the permits... much better Ts & Cs... better quality of life.. decent vacation time etc, ( Unions here are a dirty word and people seem to enjoy getting shafted by their employers who laugh all the way to the bank ), but you'll need the JAA licence.
