UK job info required
People,
There's been some talk about jobs in the UK. I'm not planning on leaving this beautiful sunny country, but does anyone know of any websites that advertise GA jobs (if there IS any work)? Is there a 'Windy' over there that advertises jobs?
(Thanks for posting all the jobs from the Australian Windy!).
Thanks, all

And if applying for Ryan expect to pay for your application form to even be considered. I did read somewhere (Here I think) that BA were expecting a major clear out next year (but I've heard that before), so things may move up on the food chain - have you got a JAA licence?

Thanks people,
I just applied for a British pasport, and got one. Lucky I guess, since my folks just went there for 1 year for work and I happened to be born then!
JAA licences look like a lot of money, and a lot of money! It may not be worth the hassel. Australia is a great place to live and work.
I have only 500 hrs and a MECIR. If anybody has time, and has done this before I would be interested in learning what you did.
Thanks again.

bd a few of my mates looked at doing the move but with the frigging around for the different licence stuff they gave up in the end. One in particular had 4000hrs or so with 1500 turbine and in the end stuck around here and is flying VB (I guess that is by default for a pommy). no regrets from what I hear (he is actually a pom as well)

Not so young now thanks 
At the moment the only folk getting work are those who are bloody lucky and have come out of a full time course or those who have paid for a type rating. That type rating ranges from the Shorts to 737's.
EasyJet and Ryanair aren't taking many on with less than 500 hours. They are actively looking for people with significant jet time or turboprop guys that are happy(?) to pay for their endorsement. Most of the other recruitment is for folks with turboprop time etc.
GA? Hardly exists in Europe. You need a minimum of 700 hours before you can carry pax in light twins. Only site I know of that has job and company info is PPJN
