JFD,
Thought we were in the same co. No what you mean about a certain team.
If the predicted shortages materialise in the not too distant future, how will our company cope?? Do we have any apprentices going through at the moment, are they assured of a job at the end of their training.
Those of us who have kids, they see what we do and what we are paid, no way will they follow in our footsteps. You could earn as much driving a bus... not have the responsiblities, the incredibly unsociable hours etc.
If the predicted doubling of air traffic happens over the next 5/10 years. Where are the Engineers coming from to do the certification. Will I be doing 80 hrs a week...I dont think so !!!!
