People did not i suspect show much interest in marshals scheme to retrain due to the derisory salaries marshals pay, your better off at tescoes or picking turnips

I would however urge anyone thinking of changing careers to think very carefuly about aircraft maintenance ,the industry is in a severe downturn and the market is awash with well qualified engineers and mechanics , i was only talking to someone at monarch today and he informed and they are sacking over 50 per cent of their base staff due to lack of third party work , couple that with the lay offs at SR technics at STN and DUB and your talking hundreds of people from two companies alone, it wil be a long long time before these people are absorbed in the market, so if your a wannabie hoping to break into the industry unlessyour very lucky your going to have a very long wait im afraid
