So if there is no more type 1/2 then its just an icao license.... now when i get my easa license i will need to wait 3 years, which is the same as FAA wait 3 years to get an IA.... now where i work we dont use our licenses, you must have one, then get approved to use a local validation, so where i work it doesnt matter what license you have as all the privilages are the same, i do they same things as easa, faa, south african, aussie, engineers do with their license except the french get extra money for having the C..... any idea how I can try to explain or show that I can do the same with a Canadian license or prove its the same? The French arguement is that EASA is not the same as anyone else especially with the C license..... waiting an extra 3 years isnt the end of the world for me but it is just extra money that I could be making.
Am I incorrect to think that a Canadian license is not as good as an EASA? I am able to get the EASA license due to my Canadian training, while EASA holders cannot get the Canadian, again I don't want an arguement or name calling I just would like to understand this a bit more.... at the end of the day its just a piece of paper and doesnt make you a good mechanic or not, your quality of work does..... anyways thanks for the responses so far
