    TG1 Retention again

    Sad times to see all rhe trainee TG1 leaving Coaford. Postings, Marham, Coningsby, Lossiemouth, Brize, Odiham and Benson. All would be negative choices in our day.

    And there am I, sitting at NCL doing more work than the local RYR guy for half the money. (In my best David Stirling actor accent)

    TG1 Retention again

    Like those on VC10s and Tristars. I did know of a guy from Marshalls that got his civvy basic ticket as the Herc was a civvy type as well. But the CAA are a law to themselves

    Alas without the B1.1 and B2 modules from a PART 147, not transferable at all I wager. A330 is CAA B1 / A cat / B2 and C to certify I believe? Air Tanker cannot get around that especially if they still wet lease out to other operators?

    Had all my exams done when I left. 7 years to be a stamper unrestricted. My fault? No. Fault of companies employing me. Yes. And they wonder why they cannot retain or recruit people.

    Amazon pay 80K? That is what a Jet 2 B1/2 is on.

    Some airlines like BA are screaming for ex mob guys now. 1 year minimum on.the tools plus the modules. 17 exams. BA are paying mechs wages to do the courses. The world is different mind. 2 aircraft and me for a week is the engineering support!

    Unless you work on Shadow or Voyager, getting a licence is long and difficult.

    Ex Red going down.

    Whom would go into RAF engineering from Civvy Street and take a massive pay cut? LAEs for Ryanair and Jet 2 are on 80K basic. Poor regional guys like me are going to be on 65 K.

    Tell me about it. Station that should be manned by a station manager and 6 LAEs is 2 LAEs. Got two Connie's coming inboard sometime. But your company is like mine. Will not pay market rate. So people leave. It is also your brexit benefit as well.

    Because they can join BA and be paid loads more in a short time doing a paid zero to hero licence course.

    My last OOA call up was 18 months warning. Feb 2007. By Oct 2007. It had gone to 2 weeks time. I was on my cross dressing course at Tossford so was canned from that list and stuck in the next hole in the Basrah list. Glass backs.. I spit at them.

    You have a system in place? My place requires 7 B1s. We have 2. Having a live licence. You don't. Not enough about. Your licence is not current so is worthless.

    The civvy aviation world for engineers is just as bad.
