There is is a huge shortige of aircraft engineers and mechanics, not only for military but in general all over europe and further, and this will not improve in the near future... Not a lot of people are interested and want to invest a lot of money for studies and training also with the new Part 66 is not better and becomes more difficult to become a certifying aircraft mechanic.

The airline career is not longer an interesting one....?Bilboone wrote:There is is a huge shortage of aircraft engineers and mechanics....
People who work their way up through the ranks are put aside by people coming from outside the business, usually people from 'finance'. People in HRM earn more than airline specialists.
A lot of the work is outsourced.
You would be totally out of your mind to start a career in airline...
Salaries are constantly cut down, working conditions getting worse by the day.
People leaving the 'real' airline business, find it more comfortable to work in an other business.
The airline industry in general is speeding towards labour problems, not only in Europe.
On the other hand there is that famous 'predation' by Middle Eastern airlines and air forces. Where they were recruiting in earlier days, retired experienced staff as consultants, trainers, nowadays what they want is active staff. The offer is short term, albeit sometimes with lucrative contracts, but the airlines keep the predation jobs disposable, meaning there is little outlook for career for 'allochtones'.
The industry is harvesting what it was sowing and strewing.
