I have learned Aircraft Mechanic for 3 1/2 years education and now it's nothing worth anymore.
Basically anybody can do this job after passing a multiple choice test and some month of on the job training and he/she has the same qualification as i have.
In my company we have girls from the ticket counter straight ahead into maintenance and they are now licenced as iam but have no clou what to do at all. Same with guys which have learned baker or gardener or what ever. It's a shame.
