Boshank, think you are looking at the wrong jobs. The only way you will gain the relevant experience is to take a position as a fitter/mechanic/technician whatever you like to call them. You would not expect a pilot who has passed his groundschool to immediately start flying commercial jets without any flying experience. Having the academic qualifications means nothing unless you have the practical ability to back it up. With an attitude like yours towards "fitters" its no wonder you cant get a job. If you are lucky enough to find an airline who will take you on without any sort of apprenticeship or practical experience and pay you at the same time then you have done very well. There are airlines that do that, try writing letters to some of the big ones at Heathrow I know for a fact that a couple of them take people with little or no experience on. Above all else show respect to the position of "fitter" which you so obviously think your well above. Some of the most knowledgable guys in the industry I've come across are unlicensed...
