Hi all,
Just to answer a couple of points....
As has already been pointed out, the residency requirements of being in the UK for 5 years are for DV and SC reasons, due to the nature of the operation and who Air Tanker are working alongside.
Whilst the company does have it's fair share of ex military staff, there are more civilians here than military. All posts are NOT going to ex military staff, I can guarantee you of that!
The company is, rightly so, setting it's recruitment standards incredibly high, particularly at the stage it's at and the challenging integration it faces between civilian best practices in a military environment. The list of pre-requisites is extensive in some areas, hence why some may have unfortunately fallen by the wayside, and in no way is that meant to offend, so apologies if it did!
Good luck to all, and keep an eye on the website.
Avgas.
