Where in my statement did i state that it is a pre-requisite that engineers should automaticaly assume that they are entitled to become pilots above anybody else?.I am merely stating that joining an airline is not a fast track to the pointy end of the aeroplane. The fact of the matter is from my own companys stand point that whatever your position in the airline, you are in the same pecking order as those on the outside. i can only say as i find.Sorry if you feel any other way.
Just a thought though!.Your stuck in deepest darkest wherever with the aircraft gone tech, its the small hours of the morning , pax in terminal, with very little line station cover, and your ddm reads like muddy water. Beside you is a ex licenced aircraft engineer. What you gone a do?. Oh i know go have a beer?.
Engineers design aeroplanes. build them, fix them, so why not fly them.
