aeronautical jobs in oz for ex RAF
Hi there, I am currently serving in the RAF as airframe/propulsion, making the move down under within the next 12 months. Just wondering if anyone knows what the job market is like for this trade? Are there any Ex RAF who have made the move to oz, if so have you continued in the aircarft industry?

My brother was a fitter in the RAF and now works for Goodrich. I know its not your area but the A380 has opened a lot of opportunities in Oz.

Cheers Scuba Steve, at the mo I am at Cosford Teaching A/C Systems for the last 6 months(didnt want to go back to Lossiemouth after Marham

Did your Brother just apply while he was out in Oz and also did he find it hard to get a job, as I am keen to carry on working on A/C.
CHEERS!!!!!!

Cheers for that, I have sent a CV off to quantas, however have heard that they are in the process of down sizing in australia and moving overseas??? but not sure what to believe at the mo 
just wondered if there were opportunities elsewhere ie, smaller airports etc. moving to brisbane so would be looking at all airports within the surrounding areas.

P.S my wife is a nurse so maybe I'll just ask her to go full time instead while I head for a career in marine biology!!! (Good term for lazing on the beach)
