Airbus
Hi,
I was a BAe Airbus apprentice at Chester/Broughton in the 1980 intake. It was a great apprenticeship then (5 years), this has been reduced. I have since become a 787 training Captain but the time I spent with BAe /Airbus was invaluable not least because it taught me how little I know about aircraft ystems. Most pilots think they know a lot about their aircraft, the reality is our Flight Crew Operating Manual is the ladybird book of aircraft systems etc. Whenever I want to know anything of significance I always come on this forum and get the advice of some people who really know their aircraft.(I'm on here now to post my latest question)
Your son would do well with Airbus, if it is Chester you are interested in give me a shout as I still have contacts there who can get you more info.
