ex USAF CFM-56 Engineer - HELP PLEASE
Good Afternoon All
I'm after a bit of advice. My friend's daughter ( British National & Citizen ) is married to a US Citizen, who has just left the USAF after ca.15 years as an engineer working on the CFM-56s powering the KC-135. He is currently in the US and, though his wife and their daughter ( also a British Citizen) are living in the UK, for some reason, he is struggling to obtain a Visa to live and work in the UK.
Now forgive my ignorance and lack of technical knowledge, however, I would have thought, due to the engine he worked on also powering many UK based A320 and 737 fleets, that he might have half a chance of obtaining a job over here working on such engines. However, I have no idea whether USAF qualifications and experience have any relevance regarding working in the UK aviation industry
I am just hoping one of you more clever than I folks will have some indication on the said US Airman's chances of onbtaining work at a UK based maintanance facility.
obviously, he' be willing to work at any UK Airport
thanks in advance
Pete
