Real apprenticeship training??? Again another 'old school' biased niave individual who only see's black and white. Ive worked along side apprentices, most of whom admitted that my knowledge was greater than their's. I was regulary asked for advice.. I've met guys that cannot even use a micrometer, the kind of people with 'years' of experience.
Interesting how you assume all students are the same, when their are around 100 students being released each year from ab-inito. It appears to me that you are judging a minority.
Also, interestingly after speaking to a hangar manager, I was told that one of the best tech's was ex-bristol-in fact he was on permanent call when needed.
