Life Outside After Mudmoving
A lot of what has been said is so right - especially WRT what the basic License is worth or gets you. When I left a secret AB in Oxford with A&C, A&P and a VS 744 course, I thought I had atleast done more than most - nope. I spent a good year + working LHR hangar's, STN and EMA just trying to get 744 approval. Eventually ended up in DXB line with Atlas on my A&P. Then got a start with Big Blue in AMS and that was the start of my B1 career - a good 4 years after leaving Cartoon Town.
But nothing is guaranteed!!!!
I recently left one job and the phone was dead for a good 3-4 weeks before I was offered my current position as a 744 Tech Rep/Flying Spanner. Cover includes, 744 all engines, 330 all engines and 777 with RR & GE (small and BIG). btw X2-16 GE - so it is possible + I have turned down a few good PERMIE jobs. Life as a Contractor suits me Sir!
IT'S ALL OUT THERE, BUT YOU ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE AGENCIES
