Twochai, I think rhe "new" 737 airframes are a bit like one of my restorations of a very old airframe, about the only thing original was the data plate and the tailwheel! The closure of our local technical high school was a clasic example of pure acedemics simply not understanding our industrial society, now they have the balls to contact myself and others to re-start the programs as there are so few skilled workers left, I for one have no desire to get tangled into the modern education system, the situation is so bad that one local company has started its own private trade school, their students command very good incomes upon graduation, maybe thisis what the aviation industry should be doing. Tomorow and the day after I will be removing parts from a VERY old piston engine so as to get them overhauled, I fear the aircraft this engine is mounted on may finish up in a museum if we dont start training replacments for my generation.
