wannabe from oz
After reading the responces to tallblokes forum, I'm not too sure about this but here goes.
I'm thinking about pulling the pin on the RAAF and heading to the UK to try and make my fortune (not) in the commercial avionics world. Basically I'm trying to get some feedback on how I'd transfer my skills from the RAAF to the commercial sector in the UK. Most of my experience is on F111 radar/radio systems. I hold an AME certificate in avionics but I'm hoping to be licenced in the radio field before I head over. I've got permanent residency rights so that side of things isn't a problem. I've heard some rumours that avionics people are in demand over there but I'd like to find out if this is BS or not. I'd appreciate any info regarding job prospects with the majors or regionals given my background, conditions and any other juicy goss.
Cheers.
