"Airplanes don't kill
OK, guys... I'm making an official announcement. "Airplanes don't kill
people!, people kill people!" This statement is hereby mine and none of you better use it without my concent! LOL. Monday I'm going to the T-shirt shop and ordering me 1000 units of various sizes. Let me know if anyone wants one. I'll donate 10% of the profits to EAA's Young Eagles program, promise! I don't know how much they will cost me, but I won't mark it up much. Just to cover my time and gas money and also to cover the cost of the beer while I talk my graphics guy into designing it Pro-Bono. Let me know how many and what sizes you want. It wont cost much, promise. Flyingmonk. |

Thanks Ron. How's space craft doing? What, have you been reading CBD again? :-) It's OK where I'm at, looking better all the time. The scariest thing happened this week. We'd been discussing with our management about the "graying" of the aerospace workforce, and how we need to get some young engineers and new hires into the industry to pick up some experience from the old hands. We've even been flagging spots on org charts for "eager young space cadets" to be formally recruited if we win a production contract. Anyway, me and one of my buddies interviewed one this week. Gawd. Were we *ever* that young? Did we ever have that much energy? That clear of eye, that narrow of waist? I kept thinking about the old farts that were with the organization when *I* started...and realized most of them are dead, now. Geeze. Ron Wanttaja |

About 5 years ago I was talking to my boss and pointed out to her that everyone of the crew chiefs and several of the most experienced workers would be retiring within 5 years. The youngest worker in our section was 41 years old and the oldest was 84. It takes three years of study and OJT to learn even the basics of Metering. When I left a little over a year ago, they had just taken on 10 apprentices and we had only 23 journeylevel workers to teach them. Not a good situation since the apprentices get very little vacation and the high time workers get up to 30 days of vacation a year. Since you can assign only one apprentice to a journeylevel worker and not all journey workers are suitable to teach.... I'm glad I'm gone from there now. It's become a madhouse. I was asked to come back and teach a night class but living 2 hours and a ferry ride away it's not what I want... John |
