and that they go on to enjoy long and successful careers!
Wish this was the case. But unfortunately they will end up stuck at an AME level, with little propect of ever becoming a LAME unless they wish to move far away from home. These poor young lads are being trained in a highly specialised field, with no recognised qualifications outside of the indusrty, in what has basically become a dead end job. And that's just the start, lets hope none of them tick the "Avionics" box!!
