Career progression with Licences?
I am currently looking into doing my B1 licences ( 9 years RAF experience on Hercs), and cat C licences have been mentioned quite a few times with regard to doing a course that includes a degree, as after 6 years B1 experience you can apply for a C licence?
What sort of salaries are you looking at with a C licence, compared to a B1?

I've got the C cert on all my types, used to be a check leader too for a previous company I think it earned me about a grand a year more than senior supes - really worth it.
The C license is only an admin responsibility - ensuring all the check cards are closed down and signed up IAW company (EASA) regs, it in no way mitigates the LAE's signing the CRS on hangar cards from their responsibilities or adds to your much.
It's no big deal what so ever, I rarely eat cornflakes but I'm sure it came with a packet at some point.

Not to steal the thread at all but I have a question about C licences.
I recently applied for the C licence, via my company QA department, taking note on the CAA application form to fill in my experience " relevant to the application ".
I had a call from my QA department recently saying I also needed to submit worksheets for the aircraft, and if I had my old AD300's from my initial type rating applications, for them to be sent too.
Now I am not questioning my QA department as such - they have set the hoops for me to jump through and if they are happy with my application, they will sign it and forward it on to the CAA but, is the fact I changed a wheel/engine/gearbox etc relevant to the C licence application ?? I have already submitted worksheets of this type to gain my Type Ratings - are they required for the C licence too ??
I thought that my experience with the paperwork, legislation and running of major inspections would have been more relevant to this application.

I knew a fully licensed (B1/C) contract engineer working as a Line boss in Germany on 95K a couple of years ago - so (if he is still there) I should think he may be on the ton by now.
He must be the exception to basic pay rules throughout the EU.

I don't think he meant contracting.
Any conny LAE putting the hours in can pull that salary
A "C" cert is no use at all on the line and so I doubt you'd be payed a higher rate for it - it's for SMICRS following Base maint only.
Why would he be on more now too BTW, has the conny rate gone up in the last couple of years for LAE's?
All relevant questions.
I took the guy's question to be about salaried permanent positions. Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick?

Australian conversion
I have been waiting for some time now to see if EASA will convert an Aussie licence (mech) to a full B1,however i havn't heard a thing.Does anyone know different? Also lead to believe that there is a world wide shortage of LAME's especialy in EU.Is this true? or is someone pulling my chain?
Cheers
