ICT, believe you have misinterpreted my quote there, I was fully aware that most US tps were ex-military, what I meant is in my research up to now I have only heard of civilian FTEs in US/Canada making the transfer to TP.
But thank you for the reply.
I haven't encountered any examples of European based FTEs making the same transfer (referring to multi JAR 23 and above) and partly due to the fact in Europe we don't have the diverse range of manufacturers. Genghis however does suggest otherwise.
As an aero grad, fATPL,FI(R), five years in the aero industry and about to transfer to a job with a heavy emphasis on flight test engineering, then I hope that I can progress from FTE to TP, well I guess only time will tell, even if the TP part doesn't happen I'm sure the FTO work is going to be a great experience.
