24.249.88.34
Both myself and my husband are aircraft mechanics. I am an Irish citizen and worked for an aircraft maintenance company in Ireland for eight years before moving to the states. We had planned on moving back next year, but unfortunately after the SR Technics announcement, we are holding off. I was planning on going back to the same company, but I imagine any openings they may have had are filled by now. Not a good time to look for work! Maybe hold off for a while if you can.
As for his qualifications, if he wants to work for a JAR 145 company, his A&P license will already be recognised, don't need to do anything just interview. For a JAR 135 job however, he will have to go through several classes and exams to get the EASA Part 66 B1/B2 License. The A&P License is worth absolutely nothing toward these exams either unfortunately. Good luck, take the time to research thoroughly.
