It's exactly 25 years since I made the hyper-space jump from RAF SNCO to unqualified airline mechanic. Coupled with the transition from Section L to EASA that was going on, the route to achieving my unrestricted licence was an ordeal.
With the advent of dual airworthiness certified aircraft like P-8/737, Atlas, King Air, and the MAA, is there any better commonality now between military technician training syllabi, certification and qualification that makes the transition easier?
