There Is Not A Lack Of Engineers
Hi Guys.
I am sick and fed up the industry moaning about not having Engineers.
I have just converted my licence from BCAR Sec L to Part 66.
I came out of the industry but still work Part Time Contracting. Aviation is in my blood and miss being around aircraft every day all day and love the job.
However, I earn 2 x the amount I can in aviation in my alternative trade.
I have an Unrestricted B2 restricted B1 & C with some 20 types with 20years experience. None of them are wide bodies.
What makes me mad is despite the above, companies are still asking for experience & a type rating on the wide bodies and refuse to offer training. Tossed a side like some used carboard Oil Filler funnel!
so Companies, we are here, You have pleanty of Engineers, but you have to Train us on Type & renumerate us well.
WHEN WILL YOU GET THE MESSAGE ??
There is not a lack of Engineers.
Just a lack of Engineers willing to work for peanuts and get treated like dirt!
We have united and voted with our feet and I am afraid the Industry gets what it has deserved for a long time
