Becomming a Flight Engineer

[rock steady fred]

I wonder if someone could tell me how to become a Flight Engineer?

First, go to your nearest hospital and obtain a lobotomy, then say "i want to be a pilot".
Easy

You just reminded me why F/E's are called stagecoach drivers.
They sit behind two ars*holes all day.

"Becomming"???

Fred...

Step 1. Learn how to spell, so that we earthbound engineers can understand what-the-h@ll you've written in the logbook.

Step 2. Learn how to change your own lightbulbs.... I'm tired of having someone interrupt my teabreak and forcing me to walk half a kilometre, up two flights of stairs, just to change a couple of "387"(miniature) lightbulbs(Believe me, you won't put me out of a job...I already have plenty of things to do).

Step 3. Learn humility....Try not to forget that there IS(usually) more than one aircraft in the fleet...and that just because you're on it, your aircraft is not necessarily the most important one.

Otherwise, simply join the queue.....ASAP(It's a long one, so you'll be there a while!). Don't become an Avionics Engineer while you're waiting.... Employers seem to favour Engine/Airframe category personnel.

Cheers.

P.S. Sorry......Should I have posted this in the "Jet Blast" forum?

QAVION,
Wouldn't be a conehead who got knocked back would we? :)

Avionics, surely the superior profession!! Who wants to change wheels and brakes http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/redface.gif)

I'd rather go flying without avionics than without wheels and brakes (or more to the point a fully serviceable engine).
