This is something I’m hearing from a lot of stood down aviation workers at the moment. They have qualifications in a second field, but due to having not worked in that other industry for a number of years their qualifications aren’t recognised and are essentially meaningless, forcing them to be employable only in unskilled labour like traffic controller or checkout at Coles.
