Sorry for the blunt reply, there's plenty of contract work out there for someone like yourself with a lot of experience although terms and conditions is always subjective and depends on what you're used to.

JET2 are looking for tech service guys with experience if you fancy driving a desk for a bit - they're after 757 and 767 experience but you might be ok with just the 767. It's based in northern england.

Etihad are recruiting again although there aren't any engineering jobs on their site. I see you've worked for EK so you know there score there, same s**t different location!

I'm not allowed to direct link here but put "aviation job search" into google and theres a few B1/B2 jobs on there. Just watch out for the ones titled "Tropical location", you'll find yourself in deepest Africa not the Caribbean!!

Most Uk airlines are laying off not hiring but which is why i'm struggling to help much, your experience is very,very similar to mine and we both have types that are suited to larger legacy airlines or the ME new boys.

FlyBE are recruiting B1/B2 in Exeter, they don't fly any of the types you have and the wages aren't the best but it's an option email your cv to keely.webster AT flybe.com if you fancy it.

Not a lot of help I know but maybe some ideas you hadn't though of. If we were recruiting you're exactly the sort of person I wish we'd take on :ok:

Fargoo , thanks for your help.
Driving a desk is not a big deal for me as i am now shift manager and in the same time mcc engineer but tech services , not that much interested.
Etihad , i get friends who are still trying to escape from auh... and as you said i know the s..t from overthere.
In fact , i will be interested by outstations , any airlines (not only the fastest growing one...).
As you told me that we get a very similar experience , can you email me or pm to tell me for who you are working now.
Cheers.

I've sent you a PM :ok:

OK , tks...

Hi Guys,

Thanks
Shahid

Shahid,
I can not tell you about this school as I am French and do not know whats going on in UK about this...
Personnaly , i did my apprenticeship with Air F....e , you know the French airline who get 380.
It was a 3 years program and after that i got an open ended contract.
I suggest that you start your own thread about it...
I am sure that some British airlines get the same kind of apprenticeship (BA maybe...).
Salut.

A340-500/600 B1 and B2 training completed...theory and practical.
one more type...

Line Up recruitment of aircraft executives, maintenance, and repair technicians

Ask to speak to Kevin Bagg in the morning.

BAe

Tks BAe , will be done ...

No problem. With those type ratings surely you can negotiate a good contract?
I find it surprising you are not in demand. For example, I only have 3 ratings but I thoroughly know those 3 types, base & line mx.

Anyway, enough of that crap! Bon chance.

License sent to DGAC (French CAA) for update.
Anybody heard about something who can be interesting for me ?

License back from french CAA.
Anybody interested ?
I am for sale.

Problem is your french issued licence, viewed with great mistrust generally in the industry, something to do with many of them being given away in corn flake boxes i believe

Simon :" given away in corn flake boxes i believe ".
That is what YOU believe ...
Give me an email address and i will send you some letters from previous employers who are not french (but british ...) and also a letter from GSAC (french CAA) who will confirm that everything on it , is true ...
Do you have a problem with froggies ?

Not at all, in fact my wifes french and i love the place, however speaking as someone in the recruitment game the fact is french issued licences are not well respected, the general consensus rightly or wrongly is that they were virtually given away, more and more clients especially in these hard times are being very picky about which country issued the licence

Simon , " french issued licences are not well respected " , it is because we are not farting higher than our ass.
" they were virtually given away " , do you want the contact of the french authorities , i think they will be interested by your theory ...
About the rest , as you are in the recruitment game , it is maybe an harm that you are limiting yourself with preconceived ideas.
Anyway , your wife is french and you love the place...

Dont shoot the mesenger friend, im not a engineer, i dont hold any licences and have no axe to grind whatsover, im simply stating th facts as they are ,and those facts are not all issuing agencys are seen as equal by the industry and french and italian to mention two are not widely in demand those are the facts fair or otherwise, you can argue for ever and a day as to the valdity of that view but thats how it is .

sorry Simon , i was busy with two British agencies who just called me ...

One question that has been bothering me though is that , is it feasible to convert license from one member state to another ?, for instance from uk to french or italian to french and the like .
And sorry from drifting away from the main topic

fb,
there is no point , an EASA license is an EASA license and is recognized everywhere in europe ... and somewhere else .
there are some countries who are thinking that they are "better" than others , thats it.

@ MATMAX,
with the bunch of A/C in your Part 66 it should be easy to get a nice job.
have you got one ???
may be the french licence is the problem.
don't worry,try this one:

Thanks ,thats exactly what im talking about

Singapore's CAAS has always stipulated acceptance of UKCAA issued Part 66 AMLs only. Although SASCO did have an IAA (Irish) licence holder once around 2004. It is worth mentioning there is a good number of numpties holding UKCAA issued licences because at the end of the day, the UKCAA is primarily a money maker.. Although your/my Part 66 document states 'accepted in all EASA states' most of us know that it simply doesn't apply in reality.

This has been allowed by EASA whose standardisation dept is meant to ensure all NAAs toe the line (comply with the basic regulation). Our own UKCAA decided to interpret a regulation wrongly 4 years ago and subsequently issued 20+ licences to staff within BA (majority) & VAA (2).

Not as bad as Germany's LBA. There are literally 1000's of LBA licences converted 'under conditions not permitted now'. I'm certain there are great LAEs & AMTs everywhere (even converted ones) but the non-compliant actions of certain Part 145 MROs, Part 147 MTOs & they're associated 'Competent Authority' (stop laughing) to fastrack individuals or groups
for 'B' licences have a lot to answer for.

no-hoper,
yes i get a job but not so interesting ...
i do not worry about my french license , and FYI , i did nearly 50 % of my types with LTT ...
the problem is coming from agencies who are lying all the time just to get somebody to propose to their customers.
Tchuss.

Simon, do fully agree with you

Simon Chowder is right. The UKCAA-issued AMEL is more highly regarded than many other NAAs' AMELs.

Which is why it is a great pity that the CAA seems determined to destroy that reputation by allowing certain Part 147-approved organisations to run engineer type rating courses in a disgraceful manner, bleating the while that "our hands are tied, nothing we can do".

fb , as you can read , the proof is done.
Bidalot knows nothing about what we are here talking about as he is a pilot who is just trying to bash on me.
Bidalot , did you mention that Bidalot is a french company that builds exhaust for small motorbikes ?
What are you doing under a camel ?
Now , why the ukcaa issued amels are more highly regarded than others (if it is true) ?
Basic , because employers will think that they will deal with a brit and the english language is his/her mother tongue ... and or but the nationality is written on the license.
Sorry brits but you are less understood in many countries because your english is too british (i am talking about the accent and the vocabulary) , i know by saying this that i will not loose british friends because they know that i am right.
I remember myself stamping experience worksheets who had been refused by ukcaa (signed by ukcaa licenses) for ukcaa licenses holders in the gulf ...

MATMAX, it's not a case of who is better than who, it is about the way certain NAA's issued their licences and therefore certain authorities will only accept people with licences issued by certain NAA's.

You can be pretty certain that anyone who has a UK issued EASA licence has been examined to the hilt and been given absolutely nothing, they have jumped through hoops and scored in the ever changing goalposts that the CAA keeps moving.

Interesting statement, do suggest to work on your persecution complex ( probably the reason AIB turned down your application.. ). Is Sarko already aware of it ?
Why should I ? everybody has access to google including you, my mighty froggy.
But I have to correct you, apart from mufflers they also produce additional motor / cylinder parts.
I get some shade, although runners should know that it is currently pretty hot in DXB

PS : where is your " A380 " experience gone you were mentioning all the time ? Had an insight that ANSUs or AGUs are too complicated ?

After 20 years and working in 10 different countries as Lame i can tell you there are good and bad engineers everywere.But after JAR and now EASA has control the quality goes down and the fecking salary as well.
The particular problem with the french guys and their licence is not the
knowledge or the performance-it's the language !
(can't remember any french college writing in english on MATMAX level)
Some companies are providing manuals in french only-happy days when
there is an AD or SB in english on the desk...

@ BAe:the german LBA is worldchampion in rules and regulation.if there is
a way to make things harder,more complicate or expensive-they will find it !
"Singapore's CAAS has always stipulated acceptance of UKCAA issued Part 66 AMLs only"-no.Worked for FSA in 04/05 holding no UK licence.

no-hoper

There is a point in recent history that many EASA Part 66 licences issued by the German LBA were not converted correctly. They are not alone in this, indeed our own UKCAA performed such conversions. Whatever numbers are involved, this is not acceptable and as such these AMLs should be revoked. Aircraft Engineers International / ALAE (1981) also have substantial evidence of LBA Part 147s giving very helpful pre-exam guidance sessions.

Per a recent excerpt from ALAE's 'Tech Log', these sessions no longer occur & failure rates have therefore increased.

There is a good possibility the above may not apply to you and others who have been trained, studied & passed exams to qualify. No offence intended. The main point is EASA has failed the European Licenced Aircraft Engineer.

Additionally, one of CAAS's chief surveyors at the time in 2004, Mr Quek Tong Huat stated acceptance of UKCAA maintenance licences only. Many vacancies in Singapore & Malaysia state this requirement to this day.

spannersatcx,
i agree with you but personnaly , i used to take care about my own stuff and doesn't look what happens to my neighbour.
to get my license , i have followed the procedures , filled all forms , proved experience , etc ...
and there is a type who has been refused because i did not provide a Part147 certificate (too old certificate , i have been told).
no hoper , can you please develop about the language ?
FYI , i have been contacted by people who are saying ukcaa license only in their ad , strange indeed.
oh ! i was forgetting , bidalot , i told you already , when you do not know , shut up.
