Careers in travel - Aircraft Maintenance Apprentices - PAML
That should hopefully explain a little bit, although the applications expired years ago.
This kind of opprortunity pops up anually.
And yes the money isn't ideal especially with the factor of relocation, but once qualified the figures are quite astounding. I have also heard something about Thomson recently (apologies if it has already been mentioned in this thread).
Failing that keep an eye on the BAE Systems website for opportunities, it's a desk job, but I love it!
Best of luck
