Hey gudday PP.Put another shrimp on the barbie mate.
Tallbloke cut up rough with some because he was looking at coming in from outside completely via uni,trying to get into the management.Something that used to rarely happen,but that the bean counters now like to do.
Before he would have had to do the rounds ,like workshops,bays,hangar checks,heavy checks,quality,tech services and line to be the fully rounded manager.
Otherwise the senior pros would not have respected him.Now they just love to push a new boy in there.
Your case is completely different
, so get your Oz ticket
,come over and convert.Register with a few reputable agencies,and I'm sure you'll get on cos good avionics blokes(I had to qualify that one),are gold dust.Do not expect to be compensated justly for your time and skills;and there are no airports here in beautiful locations.There are some good paying contracts that come up and that can get you rolling.
J.A.A./j.A.R. stuff is a confusion to most at the mo.But you may get some exzemptions.
