I know the maintenance industry cannot keep up to the pace of the likes of LCC and other airline growth. What is it approx. 100 a/c manufactured each month by the big guys Boeing,airbus,embraer,bombardier.
How many companies worldwide have increased their maintenance facilities?
How many have increased training both to Licensed guys and apprentices?
All you see around the world is new pilot cadet programs, and accelerated pilot this and that!
Not to knock the guys (pilots) but you can train a pilot in 6 weeks not hard, how long does it take to train an engineer to be of good use?
You can get accelerated training and sorts but how long does it take to get to be comfortable on type.
When will aviation companies world wide stop treating us engineers as monkeys?
Every year all I seem to hear is maintenacne is costing too much its taking too long to get an a/c back online no one thinks that maybe even the parts suppliers can't keep up to the pace.
and finally why is a pilot aprofessional and an engineer a grease monkey?
