UK CAA Flight Ops Inspector

[Jumeirah James]

Dear Ladies and Gents,
I'm considering a career change and would like to work for the UK CAA as a Flight Ops Inspector. Would someone kindly reply on PPRUNE or PM me and give me their thoughts on the position, pay etc?

Thanks in advance

Just out of interest are you a pilot?

What attracts you to the position? Do you know what qualities/skills they tend to look for? I'd be interested in any info too!

Cheers

applied years ago but didn't even get an interview even though I had considerably more experience than someone I knew already there.
I was informed that I didn't have the correct handshake!
On reflection glad I didn't I get an interview.

Know a chap who used to do this and said that it was the second worst job he had ever had; the first was probably teaching me to fly!

I have no idea as to whether he contributes here so can't direct you to him, but if his hatred remains as passionate as it once did I suspect you will receive a message in due course.

Thanks everyone for yor replies. It doesn't sound too positive does it?

Please PM me if anyone has any current info and is / knows someone in the CAA.

Cheers again

JJ
