Dear All,
In todays world, it is always better to have a professional qualification because you always get an edge over others. But where do we stand now? After 3 years of rigorous classroom & practical training ( in my time it was 3 & 1/2 yrs) you have to run from post to pillars to get an apprenticeship. After completion of that(If you are lucky enough to get one), you are again running from pillars to postbut this time only for a job in any airline.Because we don't have any other place to go. After all these years we get a certificate approved by DGCA,thats all. It is neither a degree, nor a diploma.So our basic qualification remains 10+2(unless someone has done his graduation).
We cant apply for any engineering jobs in other sectors or companies, nor can we apply for lateral entry in B-Tech because our course is not AICTE approved. However, people from all other engineering streams can apply for jobs in Air India along with us. Then why cant we in the other companies like BHEL, L&T or ONGC? If people from other engineering fields can work in aviation maintenance then why cant we work in mechanical, electrical or electronics jobs elsewhere? Either let us allow to sit for all the other job interviews or reserve the aviation maintenance jobs only for us. This is what I feel and feel free to share your views with me.If there has been any new recognition of our course then please let me know.
Thanks.
