Thanks for the replies, very informative. I was planning on going into the AAIB after uni.... Oh well thats that ruled out.
When you say that engineers don't actually visit the crash site, who does? Is it the pilot investigators?
If you are a pilot investigator, do you actually fly as a pilot for an airline as a career? If so what is the split between flying/investigating? ie would I be able to fly 747's for BA part of the time and then investigate for the other, only being called in when their is a crash? Or have I misunderstood, and that you only fly for a few hours ''on the side''.
Sorry if these seem daft questions but I know nothing about this subject.
Cheers
