| Interesting that Sara Galliott HR AMMROC on Linked In announced that UK Job Fairs were not being scheduled at this time. Maybe there's enough YANKS with great experience and the Brits are not needed or something else is happening. Also I saw that a Chilean with F-16 experience sent his resume/CV to Adam for consideration. |

| rs-1477. You're going through LM for the F-16 Block 60s at Al Dhafra? You would transition to UAE through Donaldson Center in my hometown of Greenville,SC. Yes,but an Emirate lady from AMMROC phoned me in Afghanistan. She asked various questions. Like how many years of depot,intermediate and flightline experience. What type aircraft I've worked and how many years. Skills. Why I would want to work for AMMROC. What I'm making now. Education. Certifications. Training experience. What is the minimum wage I would accept. Just a few of the questions. The lady was very knowledgeable,patient,a good listener and allowed me to ask questions.She would ask someone nearby for clarification of a question she could not answer. I gained a better understanding of wages.Learned that the wage offered on www.jsfirm.com for technician,lead and supervisor is not firm. You may be offered a different wage depending on the platform/aircraft you are assigned. I still have other questions. She passes the response to questions and CV/resume on to the Tech Guys for review. Waiting to see if they contact me. |

| A Chilean huh? Strange it was only a few month ago that Enauer from Chile was looking to hire F16 expats. After a gr8 deal of hemmin and hawing--foot draggin in general, they opted for local hires. Now the "Chilean" is looking for the grail. Geez they really got us by the nads. This is all kinder spiel ha ha. But we are havin cool game of msg tag. Cheers all |

| AMMROC will be an interesting diversity venture. Bridging cultures. Building at team combined of USA,UK,Indian,Phillipino,Pakistani,Moroccan, Emiratees and others. An aviation melting pot. It would take time to develop a comfort zone. Learning what AMMROC's expectations are. Becoming acquainted with other workers standards,quality of work and efficiency. |

Not to mention, being in a Muslim country; what is the work schedule going to be like? I have bben surfing around other forum's and from the sounds of it, AMMROC wants to hire no B.S. quality maintainers but don't want to pay the price for success.
I dunno....just looking to get my foot in the door and if it is through AMMROC, so be it. After that, I hope to make some good friends that can point me in the right direction as far as great companies with tons of benifits! |

| bountyhunter. No doubt to accomodate Muslim workers,Friday being the Muslim Holy Day if not Saturday would be an off day. One would hope they could expidite the process to get the UAE Driver's License.Instead of having to leave the country every 30 days as I experienced in order to stay in the country. Christians actually meet for services in UAE on Friday because of their work schedule. Another candidate in negotiations with AMMROC and I believe they've spent too much money already and are forced to cut cost. Cancelled until further notice the UK Job Fairs. They ask WHAT IS THE MINIMUM YOU WOULD ACCEPT FOR PAY? They want you to ignore the pay amount listed for the different level workers that were listed then deleted on JS FIRM. Go figure. |

If you just want to get your foot in the door. Why not work for Alsalam.
http://alsalamjobs.iapplicants.com/
Go work for a year. Work tax free. Make some contacts. And see how bad it is. |

I sent Sara my resume when the ad first came out. But havent heard any thing back.
And I have over 10 years of F-16, 5 years of C-17 and 3 years of Blackhawk helicopter experience.
So does anyone know of someone being hired? |

| Got a reply from Sara, told her that I'm a 7 level apg, pneudraulics & engine mechanic, red-x, ipi & engine run full aug certified. Also mentioned that they are getting 3 mechanics in one. Hoping that their tech team will have a good look into it. Just wondering,, what's is going on with LM F-16 mechanics already in place? They are not signing up? |

| rs-1477. That's a good question? How many will sign up? Most if not all would be Ex-pat status,but they would now be working for a UAE company. Paid once a month. Two years from now Secret Clearance you would have to start all over again. AMMROC is doing a background investigation. Depending on what is offered,LM may have been a better thing with a 2 bedroom place given. AMMROC is putting housing money in the offer and you have to find your housing. Work out your transportation. I've got some specific questions for the Tech Guys if they call. Offer questions also. Still a lot of unanswered before committing. In a few years they will move to Al Ain facility. How much of AMMROC? Don't know. |

| Yeah would have to agree, Im already in the sandbox. Stressful enuff--but then having to furnish and find your own place. Wow! At least Alsalam is turn key. The whole Am....thing seems a bit flighty. " Yu still honor those discounts, yep but then I'll have to charge for a double. Gee were making money already" Plane trains and automobiles nostalgia is appropriate |
