FE's who needs them?!!!!!!!!
Oh yes, all the RAF ME aircraft (not including the C17 as it isn't national property)
I was there when they shut the school with every ME fleet flying more hours than ever and no hope of any ac replacements on the horizon. Also remember several months after the school closed when an AOC from strike said to the CFS air eng rear crew examiner at crandits "these FE's, when do we stop training them?"
Now find myself approaching the 22 year point qualified in 3 different aircrew roles but still not on the PA spine, probably not competitive enough.
Just glad things are looking up on the outside.
