The only person I've ever met who thought working standards in aviation were low used to design Nuclear Reactors for a living.

We are very employable, us aeroplane gingerbeers, because of our technical skills but at-least as much because we can prove a safety and quality obsession that goes down very well in the non aviation technical world.

Mind you, I'm impressed that bubblecard found an IT company that knows what change control is. Mrs Genghis programmes IBM mainframes and her tales of working standards in some parts of the IT industry (especially the financial services bits) make my hair stand on end (or at least consider keeping my life savings in an old sock under the bed.
