I saw that but my point is there is nothing about what the industry is doing to attract new maintenance technicians its always about Pilots, pilots, pilots…the 600,000 plus maintenance hires sure sound good but the reality is there is less than 10 percent of that number industry wide coming in as new hires. That’s the elephant in the room.
When I go to the IA renewal seminars each year, 80% of us IA’s are over the age of 50 and there is 20% of us retiring annually, less than 5% coming in…that’s my point.
