it makes it cheaper.over and out.
Here, Here.
Just look at what the B1 guy is getting paid for the extra privliges or should I say what they are not getting paid.
Seriously, box goes out, box goes in, lightbulb goes out lightbulb goes in. 99% of line maintenance defects rectified.
Come on there is more to it. Some of the B1 guys that are getting trained have gone from push pull technology to complex digital systems, software, servers and what not. A couple of weeks training doesnt cut it for me.
Some will be capable, some not, but it goes both ways.
The B1 guy will ask for help just as the current Avionic guy asks for Mech assistance from time to time.
How about a bit of equality, makes sense to me.
