Anyone work in the Aviation sector?

[NadJ]

I am a fan of all things aviation, and with 7 years in IT now behind me have struggled to find a single position being offered with an aviation related firm. Actually, I lie. There was one but they never got back to me despite me chasing for 6 months!

Anyway, just interested to find out if anyone knows where I should go looking for IT jobs in this specific industry?

Thanks

KLM in the Netherlands used to employ a lot of IT Contractors in the past, if you would be OK working away from the UK

What area of IT are you in?

I dont but have a colleague who did, worked on air traffic control systems, no scope for cr*p code there . According to him its very hard to get into he had a PHD in Physics, to hardcore for me.

I can be anyone of the following: Directory/Mail Migration Engineer, 3rd Line Support, Server Support or Sys Admin. I'm mostly a MS person with good mix of AD, Exchange and SQL. Maybe that's what the problem is?

I worked for BAA last year, but then that spanish outfit bought them out and projects got cancelled.

Last I heard they want to lay off a few thousand people, so now might not be the right time.

My last client! For them experience counts more than qualification. Really interesting work though.
