spannersatcx,
Those incidents you quote as far as I am aware happened after maintenance was carried out by engineers licensed by the appropriate country's authority.
There is no evidence that work carried out by a qualified engineer from the UK is any better than that carried out by an engienner anywhere else in Europe.
-------
That may be, however a lot, if not all, contract agencies and airlines ask for UK CAA Part 66 licence holders! Perhaps there is a reason for that, who knows!
Protectionism? Not being aware of the law? Not being aware of the fact that other EU citizens holding the appropriate EASA qualifications are equally entitled to apply for whatever position they are advertising?
--------
Quite ironic a situation really that the old UK keep Europe out brigade falls flat on it's face at every turn!
If one spends even a small amount of time looking into the matter one will see that there are a number of organisations providing the appropriate training for engineers in European countries which are UK owned and UK based. Of course, these European engineers will receive their piece of paper from whatever country they are in but the poor standards claimed here (if they are true) will have been a direct result of poor UK standards in training them.
