Hey mate, thanks for your response. Yes I'm working towards a basic license without a type rating or LWTR in the B1 trade. I have completed my Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering EASA B1.1 with Aviation Australia in 2010 and have been working ever since. I've got all my Part 147 Basic Exams done. Now its just the Part 145 or OJT thats lacking towards a basic LWTR application. I have spoken to AA multiple times regarding this but the underlying issue remains with the completion of OJT / work experience which is impossible or difficult to obtain these days unless employed by a large organization with hangar facilities. Between you, me and the trees, I have been employed by BAE Systems in Sydney starting in Feb 2014. From what I understand they only do "A" checks in Melb and I'm not sure if that will suffice towards completing certain tasks in my JoE. Nonetheless its still an option and will let time play its part. I've also tried contacting Lufthansa Technik in the Philippines to enquire about prospects there.
