Flight Engineers in short supply

I work for EAT/DHL as an A300 FE, the company is taking delivery of its 15th A300B4 freighter in August and is becoming concerned that it is running out of FE's, so if you have a UK CAA licence, perhaps without a type rating, it might be an option for you. The company has a good record in promoting FEs into the right seat if they get a CPL, we have a Line Training Captain who is an ex FE, so it could offer a solution to a younger man prepared to spend money on flying lessons. It is not all beer and skittles, night parcels can be very tiring, especially a four sector night! Eight days on six off, but I'm still working, have passed my 60th birthday now, so the wages augment my measly masters pension! It is Brussels based, but travel to and from UK can be made in company jet. Most of the sectors are in Europe, occasionally to the ME, our C checks are done at GAMCO, nothing across the pond though!
