ANY TANKER PILOTS LEAVING THE RAF SOON?

If there are any tanker pilots leaving the RAF soon (September 2006-ish) who might be interested in a 3-year non-flying AAR related task for EADS, based in Madrid, then please PM me.

Pay works out at around €95K per annum.

Work would involve supporting Training Developments and Operating Manuals.

DISCLAIMER - I have no direct personal interest in this - just putting the word out to others!

BEags, what is that in REAL money, or have you gone over to the dark side as well?

Mods:

What about a military jobs sub-section? There's quite an array of skills specific to the ex-mil aviator: QFI/QWI/QHI/Tanking/RtoI/Cooking-on-a-dustbin-lid-when somebody discovered gas years ago/er..that's it. I ask you. Seriously though, it would tap the target audience without requiring HM Forces aviators to read Flight International backwards. Or dodgy notices in Notting Hill public telephone kiosks.

I'm not a Mod, but this is a bit of a tricky one, really. Getting mates in on the chance of a job somewhere which you've been told about is one thing, whereas a resettlement info exchange is something rather more and would be difficult to manage without becoming blatant free advertising.

I'm sure that Danny has looked at it, but if I was him I'd be considering a Pprune ads site eg www.pprune-ads.com - with click-throughs from Pprune original.

...but the job security.....?

Just be careful everyone--EADS still has a raft of problems (political as well as technical and business) with the A380, which has seen a huge chunk wiped from its share price over the past two days.
You may have to settle for Carterton Groats after all......

You do know about law, do you?

Such as the laws of slander and libel?

Or contract law?

Beagle,

...er, yes, actually, I do--especially contract law in this case!


By the sounds of it, you do not, however.

......and even more evidence re. share dealing in the business press this morning I see (no, not your Current Bun, Beagle)
There again, you should realise that a tort is not some pastry confection, you know.

Can I borrow your watch ?

Sounds like you need a good management consultant down there. (ACMA, multi-lingual, good inter-personal skills - i.e. Likes drinking Licor Cuarenta y Tres)

LFITTNI:-

No, I'm not a budding re-tread tanker driver. I surmise from your profile and your other posts that we may be in the same line of business, perhaps even already commercially connected.

If you'd like to PM me, we could have a chat about other commercial possibilities.
