Engineer Shortage ?
Recent posts have suggested there is a growing problem finding engineere ,certainly in the UK.My local company is at least two down at the moment with no applications,leaving my aircraft gathering dust in between waiting for parts.
When you look at the recent Occurences List from the CAA SRG it also seems that there are a growing number of maintenance isssues coming up ,like incorrect bolts fitted to rotor hubs,missing bolts,incorrect assembly etc etc.
Is this symptomatic of a lack of experience and the retirement of older staff?
There has beeen much discussion regarding a shortage of pilots,but maybe they won't have any helicopters to fly at this rate !!
