yes you could try aerospace,probably the quickest route and the best training,i'd stay away from air atlanta,i've friends there who hate it and the stories are horror
I have worked with engineers from both aerospace and air atlanta, and i have to say the air atlanta guys are streets ahead. I believe the training in AAE takes four years to complete compared to 2 1/4 years in SA. Most of the ex AAE guys are fully licenced when they finish there training e.g B1/B2(licenced engineers). Compared to SA guys who finish with an A licence(licenced Mechs able to sign for routine stuff (wheel changes etc).
I have also been told that SA trainees are placed on one section e.g cabin and thats all the do for there 2 1/4 years. Compared to AAE trainees who are rotated through all the different sections on the a/c Engines, Sheet metal, Avionics etc and also the eng, planning, quality, departments etc.
I have a friend who hires for one of the major airlines who has told me when the c.v's come in for a job its the AAE ones that go to the top of the pile..
Just so it is known i have no affiliation with either company.
I hope this helps.
