Started reading the biographies of those on the panel, and like in this department, as well as coming from college and working up through the ranks, a third of the people on the panel have come into this trade with varying & wide experience, such as ex RAF, ex Navy, ex TV repair trade.
So, this led me to think - RAF Avionics technician, probably on £32k, looking for a new career. Due to onset of regulation & no medical experience, they are offered a band 4 position (at best) - why would they want to come into this trade?
Whether people on this forum agree with people being rewarded for having previous engineering experience when they transfer across to this industry, I find it amazing that people cannot see what the long term repercussions will be to the medical engineering discipline when employers can no longer recruit people of similar calibre.
Comments welcome!
