mriya225, you rang? Thanks for not typing quickly, it makes it easier for me to read.
What’s an Avionics Certificate?
reracker, how were the logbooks signed off? With an airline employee number, or a signature plus a certificate/vendor number? Did you have to call to see if it was ok timewise, and did the maintenance controller have to decide if it was more time efficient to repair rather than MEL? Usually you only need to contact a maintenance controller to coordinate a deferral.
Over here an A&P is still a requirement for working on live aircraft, but most outfits are lowering their experience requirements. It used to take five years of jet experience before a major airline would call one in for an interview, but now they are hiring mechanics straight from tech school and upgrading people with A&Ps from other departments. Since the majors are having a hard time getting experienced personnel, imagine what it is like for all of the other outfits over here. This is shaping up into being a big problem. A lot of trade magazines are saying the nasty words "Pay" and "Wages".
