I'm a young Australian avionics AME who has ambitions of living and working in the financially unstable utopia known as Europe at some point in my life. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
Some of the options I've considered are:
Working as an Avionics AME
Getting myself an unrated B2
Buying myself a course on B737, A320, A330 etc.
I've been doing some research and asking my seniors just how feasible that actually is. I've heard a variety of conflicting opinions. Some have suggested EASA will recognise my Australian Cert 4. Some have suggested EASA will recognise a B2. Some have suggested you must go via the UK or Switzerland.
There has been very little consistency.
I called EASA myself and was told that my entire qualification meant nothing and that I would have to start from being an apprentice again. I doubt this very much.
Can anyone here provide some credible insight?
