Well aware of all that. Answers - yes to ex-apprentice with licences (sadly gathering dust) aero degree and
C Eng (Thanks Ghengis for replying to a previous thread) and lots of big aeroplane type fleet support work.
It takes a year to PVR anyway - who knows when it will all pick up but it will. Too close to pay-off to jump if I were honest.
The real point I mean to make is that RAF Engineer officers now have a disappointing "choice" of so few decent aeronautical engineering jobs that the branch is becoming even more unnatractive.
I vent here, if nothing more, to warn those looking into it as career. Not to put off but consider the high chance of at least one "IT" tour as an "aerosystems" engineer sat in a derelict office doing everything you joined up to avoid!!
Not looking for career diagnoses from DERA (I know its called QinetiQ) types, just wondering if there are any more RAF Eng Os out there who have noticed the high proportion (and growing) number of jobs in the dreadful category?
