What do you do?

It always amazes me how many amateurs do real critical work nowadays...

Not sure why it amazes you Viktor - it seems to be the norm in every walk of life nowadays.

Interesting programme on TV last night was a case in point. How incompetant amateurs 'maintaining' railway points caused the Potters Bar train crash.

But they were the cheapest contractors by miles, so what the heck! It's all about risk management. Better to pay out compo to berieved families every few years than pay for better maintenance.

And there's more. Aircraft maintenance, medicine, all slip-shod and lowest bidder.

It's ingrained in our culture now. No pride in the job. Nobody can afford, or be bothered, to gain the proper skills.

Thank God for all those talented new EU citizens!

Are you sure?

Don't the structural engineers design the difficult bits that stop it all falling down, while the architects design the bits with the large rotating knives?

Top marks for the MP reference there ZG!

The Sainted Margaret contributed by junking all the Industry Training Boards back in the 80s... along with the Pole Tax* not one of her brighter moves.

Yes. So I recall.

The sooner she is feckin sainted the better.

Dunno why she's hanging on really when she could be toasting with Dennis and her big mate Pinochet in one of the lower pits of hell.

Aircraft Software Requirements
Aircraft Software production + unit test
Aircraft Software test (rig not unit)
Aircraft Software/Hardware certificate.

Not at the same time, different contracts.

Also rail systems, jet engines and air traffic (briefly and never going back)

I did some Air traffic stuff for a Frog Co and I always involuntarily clench my buttocks when landing in certain countries !
