atpl and aml b1.1 job?
Hi all.
Got a bit of a different question.
I've got an ATPL and a rating with about 2000 hours on a 20K kg turboprop (flying currently on it) and also a valid AML B1.1 with NO type on that, European based.
I'd like to work for a GA/Corporate/private or even classic planes, in short for a company that maintains and flies their aircraft, where I could work to do both flying and maintenance. Preferably long term, stable company.
Do you think such a company exists and would it work? Would I be desirable for such a company or not at all? I'm not so much thinking working for the Antarctic Survey (yet), or flying Cessna's in Africa. I'm not going to the States either
Thanks.
ps, posting this in 2 forums.

Hi,
I think it is not possible in Europe, not nowadays. Companies do not want people doing 2 jobs, even if they save one salary. For example, in Spain it used to be a mechanic flying as hoist operator in SAR helicopters but it is disappearing. Certifying a daily check after a stressful flight? No thanks.
You are asking about a job that is related to flying in remote areas where the pilot depends on himself/herself. You answered your question, British Antarctic Survey or bush flying in Africa, maybe South America.
Try these:
www.airserv.org/ (USA, N- aircrafts)
www.zimex.ch (Switzerland)
I hope you find it. Regards.
