There are other positions in an airline.
Human Resource, Finance, IT Dept etc..
Just give a lookout to their advertisements in the local dailies..

However with the current economic slowdown/recession, most airlines have frozen intakes to supporting functions to the operations. There are still vacancies in the technical departments however, like engineers, technicians, cabin crews and pilots.

Definitely!
Make sure you record properly details of your work and have it duly signed by the person in charge.

Tell you what John,
Understand the exact requirements of EASA-66 syllabus first. Have you read it?
Most of your questions here will be answered!
It is okay to ask but do your ground work first lah, ie read, read, read!

Oh.. ok. Can always go to EASA website and read all about it!

In aircraft maintenance there are no 'aeronautical engineer' position per se. Next closest position will be Technical Services Engineer. You won't be working direct with the aircraft. Still an important support function. It's a desk job. Female? Of course we have female Technical Services Engineer!

john,
there is always two sides of a coin. some people like to work in the workshop, some don't.
Easy job in the hangar? Not in my book!

One of a good traits of becoming an LAE is going through tonnes of documents/reading materials.
If it's a drag to read through 70 pages worth of postings, I'd advice you to stay away from this field...

Honestly I did not mean to discourage anyone, but aviation in general is a highly regulated industry. The air legislations in the form of MCAR with it's related annexes, schedules, DCA's own ANs, ADs, SBs, AMMs, IPCs, SRMs, CMMs and the list goes on..
Don't like reading? It's a life long career!

Referring to AMM or not, I can assure you that the rectification and final certifications will always quote the correct/applicable AMM or other applicable approved documents references.

CAIP is just a minimum standards/procedures. It is NOT an approved document! How can you certify with references to unapproved documents?

Remember, CAIP is the minimum acceptable standard to pass the LWTR. LWTR where got priviledges?

Comprende?

'muy bueno!'

I was with Aer Lingus.
Now back here.. in bolehland..

There's a worldwide shortage of license engineers.
salary is better than a degree, many times over..

5 figures? dream on!

Your friend's uncle is quite right... it starts from 7 years of experience and strings of aircraft types...

The workshop foreman is AS 1 grade.
The max. basic pay under this scale used to be Rm4500. Could be around RM5000 now.

Why should they? It's an internal program not open for public.

HOWEVER, don't quote me, MAS is PLANNING to re-start the apprenticeship program based on the BCAR's Section L this year. It is open to the public and you do your own financing. About RM160K for 3 years... mostly likely will start after SPM results are out...

wusuhong,
If at this point of time you're still asking these questions and uncertain of what courses to take, I think you're in 'trouble'...

I have also seen you asking similar questions in other forums.. despite similar threads and lots of discussions with regards to the training and training/learning organisations.

This is the main issue: Getting the LWTR.
We know the how and we know where, right?
Any of the places that have been mentioned over and over again is acceptable. Just some are recognized some don't, some have approval but majority don't.
Just pick one that come your way, work/study hard and get the license ASAP! The end result is the SAME.

Auwww come on! You want the best of everything? Get real!!!
Again, the same question I ask, what the heck do you actually want? Your license or college life?
