Yes I agree with that, and about asking for advice/guides/pointers, I don't know where to start, too many to ask for me especially since I had not even completed my air legislation module yet which is why I decide to stay low for awhile as my knowledge is very limited especially when compared to seniors here like
maryjane or you
About the last sentence, should be good work attitude, ability to work in a team and just generally how a person look at problems and solutions?

im no where near to Jazzy,and even i finished my modules,i still have a lot more to learn.ill share what ever i know,dont worry..

Hm... just one of my senior told me: A engineer would not achieve anything if relationship between him/her & technician is not good.
"Engineer should trust his/her technicians" is what I have heard. Although I think it is uncomplete statement for 'good quality engineer'.
Experience and learning attitude is one part of it too. (Fresh engineer may have not done that specific job anyway, thus need to get guidance from senior LAE) Sometimes there are things just aren't straight in the AMM, but experience give you a way to solve it fast and good.
Example:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Last time we did a job, which the LAE have no experience on it, but there is a technician which is very familiar with the job (somewhat like a task specialist). He ask for advice and trust him on the job, I was in the job I could see that is important & job ended nicely.
i was participating in phase 4(800check) for Beechcraft SKA350 here in ST.Yesterday,even the licensed guy did a mistake when refilling hydraulic.It straight burst on his face.After clean up everything,the supervisor came and explain what happened.Having a license yes,but having experience on that particular aircraft is much more important.
Between a tech and licensed eng,u may have the approval,but the tech have more exp than u.so be humble when working,u dont lose anything.
