How easy is it to go from being a licenced B1.2 Piston aeroplane engineer to becoming B1.1, apart from having to do the turbine exam module? Would any companies take you on to gain the 2 years experience? I've heard its easier going from piston to turbine rather than the other way around?
Could the OP not gain experience with the Biggin Hill lot to get the B1.2 licence and then try to get onto the heavies?
