Moaning engineers
Just to expand on my answer to carpass on his good luck, have we (engineers) turned into a bunch of moaning barstewards?
I certainly feel I have, and I do feel justified in some of my moans but are we all the same or are there any licensed aircraft engineers who are truly happy in what they do, and who they do it for?

think your job description in your profile says it all, lets be honest would we have all gone into this if we knew it would get like this! Or are you one of the younger ones who missed the good times so don't know how it could be? Sorry to be ruthless mate but you did ask!

Come over to Air NZ and hear the moaning here. Pays to wear ear defenders in the lunch room!!!!! But that is all the bean counters fault and middle management!!!
25% pay rise and less hours and we'd be happy........maybe!!!!!!!!!!

Well I'm changing jobs. So I don't think I'll have a reason to moan anymore. This new company seems to take care of it employees. At least thats what my friends say who work for them already.
So maybe, I will get back to enjoying the job! Just feeling appreciated and being paid a decent wage goes a long way in my book.

..and I'm so happy I could ****!....oops i just did.
Moaning is part of human nature and we generally get given more than our fair share of stuff to moan about, so thats what we do - and rather well i think.
I personally decided to go contracting to give myself more choice about where I worked and how i was treated and its working for me.
I've been in the same place for nearly 4 years now so i suppose i must be happy - but dont tell my boss.

Moaning is an art form so as long as it is creative.
Many a boring hour w.....g spanners can be passed by being openly critical of everything around you.
Lets face it if we never had anything to moan about. It would be a perfect existance. Utopia in fact. How boring would that be? Can you imagine actually being freindly with your bosses. Imagine the dissapointment when they stab you in the back. Now that would be something to moan about!!!!!!!!

I like to moan about everything, it's my nature. I am, you see, a miserable Bas#*rd.
I always moan about my job and my employer.
But, when I look at 'situations vacant' in a newspaper, I don't see too many jobs that pay as well as mine. I don't have to get my hands dirty (avionics!) too often, the blokes I work with are a bloody good bunch and more importantly........****** working in an office!

Hi there.
Isn`t moaning just part of the game between the employer and employeed? Personally, I had enough last year. And decided going contracting, which I can highly recommend.
You decide yourself, where to go, and you can always leave if your are not happy.
There is plenty of jobs out there.
