But if you believe the rumours Team 380 are not overly happy with the work ethic or effort of their members who are ex SIT and are not wanting anymore.
This has been said by more than one 380 team member and it seems to be a recurring theme. So if this is the case then why would they recruit more SIT LAMEs.
It isnt exactly a secret that if an aircraft cant have an MEL applied or fix it in 5 minutes then SIT run out of manpower for that aircraft and more often than not base has to pick it up.
If you read between the lines of the job ad they wont pay senior lame money,tech specialist or the like to me this would seem that they are after people who work for a living and don't skulk around the edges trying to do projects or secondments and that makes sense.
Why train someone for 3-6 months only to have them disappear to a day shift jolly and never actually work on the aircraft they applied to work on.
If management have any sense they will employ workers rather than more SIT pen jockeys.
