OK all....
It is true that QF management are idiots. That's what happens when people get performance bonuses...they will do anything to get it, because they know they won't be there in a few years to sort out the mess they create...
The biggest single issue with QF is the number of people in it for themselves who can and do hide behind the HUGE bureaucracy...meaning, there are so many people with an inflated opinion of their own importance, but when the **** hits the fan, trying to find the people responsible is impossible....
QF train apprentices very well, the bonus is it's a company that has a good reputation, despite the truth from the workforce...
You will hear all sorts of doom and gloom...at the end of your time you may be lucky and be one of the chosen few, but any other employer in the industry will look favourably on your training...
As an apprentice, you should do your basics whilst doing your apprenticeship, the company will reimburse you, and it puts you in great stead with the outside world of aviation.
You can go anywhere in the industry with the training.
The days of earning double the average wage are long gone though.
The rest of the world has caught up and in many cases surpassed the QF engineer.
But one day all the old buggers at the top have to retire.....
PS Consider Queensland Aviation School and read Friday's Australian newspaper Aviation section....and ring people in the ads....asks questions and most people are decent and will give answers
There is a whole world out there...QF is just a small part of it
