Anyone with experience in Helicopters/Gas Turbines?

[Mr Classic]

Currently completing an apprenticeship with an aerospace company. At the end of my apprenticeship I am going to have the choice between Helicopters/Airframes and Gas Turbine MRO, and was wondering the state of the market in terms of jobs? Our current business is around 70% engines 30% airframes but wasn't sure if it was indicative of the general state of the market.

An NVQ in Performing Engine Operations and a Cat A license afterwards.

[Mr Classic]

So the B1.3 license is for turbine engine helicopters, i'm assuming that's airframe based? I'm not sure what the specific qualifications are for turbine engine maintinence.

[Mr Classic]

I'm currently based down south in a MRO facility, and i hope to go contracting in a few years whilst im young and have no mortgage etc.
