Flying in Europe - Low level jobs
Hi all,
New guy so sorry if I am in the wrong section.
So my girlfriend and I are seriously considering moving to Germany. (Yes she is a citizen, so I can get the right to work there).
She's a scientist, so I believe she will be able to find a job in that country.
My background is diverse: 8 years a C-130 navigator, became a C-130 loadmaster to pay for my CPL. So now I have a South African ME IR CPL, with frozen ATPL.
Hopefully, once we can get out of our COVID lock-down, I can add the instructor qualification to my name as well.
I know the industry has now taken a knock like never before. I always wanted to into airlines (might have had a shot at my airline's cadet programme, but think that point is moot now), but I also enjoy flying enough to give instruction or the odd charter or whatever job you might find.
I'm also open to other aviation-related jobs, or even non-related to get started.
So, my question then - do you guys think you can make a living in Europe?
Our aviation industry won't have space for me, of that I'm certain.
Thanks for you inputs.
Regards,
Erich
