ICT SLB,
Yes you are correct there are plenty of British Engineers working in the States, Boeing has always been a big employer of contract British Designers and Stress Engineers to add to your list. But in my post I am specfically referring to opportunities to work as an FTE/FTO.
Employment prospects in the UK are also good,but it just the opportunites in the specialisation of FTO/FTE are limited.
So are there any British born FTO/FTE out there whom have managed to become test pilots with a civilian flying backround, on JAR23 commuter or JAR 25 aircraft at a US/Canadian company.
