Well, the advert says A340 for a start, if this is related to your first post then maybe you should contact the agency in question as I cant imagine there is an abundance of guys with 340 cover in the US who could answer your question. The ones that do are most likely employed by VS or BA (To turn VS a/c) and hold B1's in addition to A&P.

Something tells me you aren't in a position to apply somehow...

not true, as long as the company is 145 approved you can be A&P and sign for them.

I was being facetious, as in the US the licencing system used is FAA A&P.

Even if it was a FAR/EASA repair station/AMO,don't think A&P can sign off an EASA reg a/c as the A&P is not an ICAO type 1 licence ?

A typical American input.
There is more than just USA.
BTW: "Brits" is also no proper English...

Ok I will try to give the best I can. First off your B1 in the USA is just about as useless as my AMT in the EU. Now if you find an EU operator that is seeking your status and willing to do the work visa etc. in the USA who the hell knows, would be rare.

Generally there are two major freight carriers and one domestic that pay roughly 100-110k USD a year for AMT's, we take pride in this. The other major airlines have gutted their pay down to 60-80K USD a year (topped out). Like I said there are rare exceptions EG: some cooperate jobs.

The A320 operators outside of the big game pay less to my knowledge. The narrow body players (other than SWA) hire young people at weak wages.

Commuters and repair stations in commercial aviation are stepping stones in the USA paying as low as 12$/hr for new recruits and as much as 26$ for experience from my knowledge.

These are rough estimates and not 100% certain.

Hope this helps.

No, B1=technician!

And do you really think that everyone who certifies an EU registered a/c has an EASA licence? The answer is no.

Also there is no type 1 or 2 ICAO licence anymore, The Type I and Type II Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) licences have been superseded by a single AME licence since November 1998 (see Annex 1, Chapter 4, paragraph 4.2).

Come on guys keep up!
