Yes the engineers are tucked away in the hangar for most of the day - occasionally let out for tea breaks (even the grubby ones!) - but they too are a very important part of WAC. The reputation of a flying school comes partly from the overall standard of the school fleet, and I don't mean having glossy brand new aeroplanes, I'm talking about having an aeroplane that will get you airborne for your lesson/jolly and get you safely back down again without too many dramas in between
All very fair points, and i havent heard anything from any of the fulltimers, and i speak to alot of them regularly every week - there one of the main places i get my gossip from!
i understand the engineers are very important part of WAC, i dont see why your trying to argue with me and tell me otherwise.
i trust the engineers dearly, if i didnt i wouldnt fly the planes. Ive got to know them all individually and even flown with a few of them, they are all superb guys.
The whole cabair situation may be a string in a bow of many problems that may be making people considering leaving, and we dont know what history some people may have with cabair, especially in the past.
I was just about to say what bose-x has rudely just said...
At the end of the day im not going to argue about it, we'll all have to wait and see what happens and hope for the best. I certainly hope it stays fairly the same, and in the foreseable future i cannot see it changing all that much to be frank. The cabair situation certainly hasnt put me off the place, in my mind i think it may benefit the place and others not, but i think it will be a good thing eventually. I do hope nobody leaves and that the a/c stay in the same good state, and i hope the staff stays the same. Arguing about future changes isnt worthwile because theres a million and one possibilities. Were all entitled to our opinions - lets stick with them and see what happens.
