Advice......
Hi There,
I'm also ex forces with a similar background to yourself. Currently have 9 years ops experience working for various airlines. Have been mainly involved in flight/fuel planning, flight watch, applying for overflight permits, handling/fuel etc, and dealing with schedule disruption. Ops pay starts around 20 k, but not sure about airfiled ops. Keep your eyes in aviationjobserach.com, all kinds of stuff on offer there. As an ex forces guy, you are attractive to a lot of employers. Dust off/update yr cv, and good luck. But expect some dissapointment and turn downs, the key is to keep at it. Someone out ther loves you, you just have to find them...
Best Regards
