Poaching engineers in avation publications

Horror horror has the end started?

Thanks to Steve Creedy, Aviation Editor of The Australian newspaper we were able to be the lead feature in this Friday’s aviation pages. In this media release we focussed on the existing and worsening skills shortages. You know my views on the loss of so many engineers in recent years. Today, in the north, mustering based engineers are probably being paid at least three times that of the guy or gal in the helicopter.

Horror horror has the end started?


If you read our article and drop your eyes down to a brightly coloured advert it reads,

“Follow the path to success. Are you an aviation LAME looking to transfer to the mining industry?" A job description follows.

Talk about poaching our precious and essential engineers …………

What do we do???
