My problem is mr nutloose, that when i want to work in Malaysia or an other contry in asia, they refused licence EASA except that resulting in Great britain.
All company there want only work with B1 EASA licence issued in UK ...I have the same licence with an british mechanic and i don't understand why this segregation....

Cool

From an earlier post
France prior to EASA didn't have national licences just approvals
therefore it is hard to judge at what level these approved persons were at when they were given their licences, all UK issued licences were gained by examination after examination after examination.

This is not a slight against anyone just as it is seen by employers looking for certain qualities.

My question to the CAA:

"Hi Mrs Mundie,
but why in Malaysia or other contry in asia, they refused licence EASA except that resulting in Great britain?
Regards."



The answer of the CAA:
"Dear Sir

We regret we are unable to comment on the requirements of other countries. We can only re-iterate that there is no provision within the Regulation for Change of State of licence issue.

Many thanks

Mrs C Mundie
L&TS"

Re: help with info to convert My ICAO license to EASA
The declaration that you sign on your Form 19 (Engineers Licence Application) states:

"I have not applied to any other JAA/EASA Member State Authority, I do not hold a Part-66 licence issued by any other JAA/EASA Member
State and I will not be applying to any such Authority for a Part-66 licence."

So the long and short is you cannot hold two EASA licences.

The whole point is that certain Eu countries licenses (France etc) were considered not as good as other countries (UK etc), so after the conversion to a 'level playing field' for EASA licenses, some countries engineers got a full B1/B2 on the basis of what they currently held, and the fact that certain countries (UK) had a world recognised exam path to get those licenses meant that the new JAR66 is only worth having if issued in certain countries. I do not mean to put down engineers from any particular country but you can see that the path to achieve the old licences were a bit different across Europe so how they can issue a common licence based on them is beyond belief....it is now showing up in job adverts as you have seen....

Mates,
go on thinking you are the only one , you will go far.
i have helped some Brits who made some mistakes before and i am still helping some nowadays not only because i am their Shift Manager but thats a way of thinking ... and i am not taking myself for God as some other guys here ...
do you need names and places and companies ?
it is not because a country got a Licensing system before another one that their Engineers are "better"...
was it a proof that you were not a butcher or a baker ?
have a look on your ex-colonies , some of their Engineers have a higher level ... think about it !
Cheers and Brgds.

AF , the first european airlines for the 380 .
I am not working for AF anymore ...
any thing to say about EK ?
ah yes , they are dreaming to be an airline like AF ...
a book can not be written about BA ?
SC , we are going to drift from the thread.

BA wrote the book ...

from wikipedia (sorry in French):

British Airways est la troisième compagnie aérienne européenne après le groupe Air France-KLM et l'allemand Lufthansa.

they also say that BA was created in 1974 and AF in 1933.
SC , Who wrote the book ???
Cheers and Brgds.

Cool

I see we're back to the same old arguement again.

Nobody is boasting or saying who's better than who. The system is such that employers in certain countries prefer people with licences from certain other countries, rightly or wrongly that is a fact.

yes , spanners maybe wrongly ...
anyway , not a big deal for me.
how can you judge without knowing ?
UK or France , are we not both europeans ? and we are using the same money ... oooppss , sorry .
from NWT : The whole point is that certain Eu countries licenses (France etc) were considered not as good as other countries (UK etc) ...
consideration is a feeling (and not certain) , not a fact !
