I lament the lack of training, hardly anyone I know has been put on company supplied type training in the last 5 years. Of course there are people paying their own way and taking holidays to attend.
Apprentice training is f$%ked short and simple.
Paperwork is a killer,working in a 145 organisation and I spend more time on paperwork than actual work. That isn't a joke ..... this isn't helped by dinosaur computer systems and dealing with so many clients different types of paperwork
Also the 'can do' attitude isn't possible in 145. If you don't have a manual it can't be done. I wrote off a stall vane weeks back for a open circuit diode. The part was about 10 cents but I replaced the core exchange part for 8k.
