                  The situation is really pathetic. Recently a friend of mine had been to an interview conducted for a by a low cost airline having only Airbus 320 s based in New Delhi. He had applied for the post of Aircraft technician, he has a bamel in HA, JE and LA... the poor guy even took the trouble of self financing a type rated course on Airbus 320.
The fine folks over there on seeing his  profile with  prejudice had told him that since he would become an AME and leave the company after getting recent experience in 6 months, they would not consider him for the post of technician.
Consequently they would would not consider him for the post of Trainee AME because he didnt have the recent experience to begin with. Even after listening to all what they had to say, the guy was ready ready to work 8000 bucks.
If this is a situation, then why must we take the trouble of passing papers and getting a bamel if its going to hinder the development of a person. From my point of view he was very well qualified for the post. I dont see what was his mistake. Something has to changed otherwise there no use of freshers graduating from the booming AME college business, where it is impossible to get OJT.... but thats a whole new ball game.
