We went out yesterday afternoon for about five hours. It was almost pleasant, but it was on the edge of too hot for me. Right now, it is 88F and quite humid, and two days in a row of that kind of heat wipes me out. So, we're cleaning the inside of the house today. So far, I've cleaned up the kitchen, cleaned out and washed the fridge, washed the kitchen floor, emptied all the litter boxes, cleaned them, and vacuumed the dining room and hallways. Now I'm about to clean up my office from the week's paper shoveling. In between, I'm moving around sprinklers to get the beds on the edge of our woods, because everything needs a cool drink. Now, aren't you glad you asked? I hate housework, by the way. I got up early this am and was out at my nephew's building lot before 8. His dad and a good crew of his co-workers were already busy as bees. I was assigned the task of measuring the framing for his 8 basement windows. I cut the jack studs and the 2x10 headers and nailed all in place. Next I was marking and cutting the 4' x 8' sheets for his subfloor. By the time 1800 hrs arrived I was ready to slip away and let the 'young guys' continue. Good old Nova Scotia weather..it rained on us all morning but I ended up with a sunburn in the afternoon. |

What are you laughing at, idiot? You've blamed me for "outing" you with details including even a photo of your ugly house. You think I've lost my ability to use the internet?

Gene,
I would think high school consolers would encourage those inclined to get the training to be aircraft mechs. Why the shortage? "Gene Kearns" wrote in message ...

It is required, under Federal Law, that mechanics *read* and *understand* the maintenance manuals, which are written in english. They are also required to write a legible and comprehensible logbook entry accurately describing the work performed. Most larger aircraft flying today are maintained in "Repair Stations" that get around this language requirement. I know of a lot of people working on aircraft that can't carry on a decent dialog in conversational english.... and technical english? No way. Tie that to the fact that a major shortage of aircraft mechanics is looming on the horizon... one large enough that Congress has just commissioned a study to evaluate how big and why. The answers are obvious, but I guess we need to spend more tax money to codify the obvious.... G-r-r-r-r-r-r-r.... |
OK...point well taken (as long as they speak English). However, I still
don't trust any mechanic I can't converse clearly with. I may not know how to fix what he's working on, but I'm a pretty good judge of.....oh never mind. "Real Name" wrote in message ... Doug, Absolutely not, I believe in most jobs, employers should insist that employees speak English. Harry was not concerned that they could not speak English, his concern was English was not their first language. I live in a very diverse area. I have no problem communicating with people whose first language is not English. "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "Real Name" wrote in message ... Harry, Your racist views were clear. "Not to worry; with all the airline cutbacks, your pilots on US-flagged airlines won't be speaking English as their primary language anymore, anyway." As always, there's another way of looking at it: Would you want three mechanics and a supervisor trying to fix an elusive problem with a jet engine, and all 4 people speaking different languages, totally unable to converse? |

Not really. It is a limited enrollment program so the students have to meet minimum criteria. Most students that aren't motivated balk at taking 94 semester hours in 2 years. Any others that are borderline are victims of the FAA mandated knowledge, oral, and practical testing. Hmm. I still want to interview every mechanic that works on the planes I fly. That's why I don't fly much. :-( I used to love it when I was a kid, but the pilots had mostly been through hell already, the equipment was brand new, and there were no labor problems causing attitude problems. |

Paul,
I think it has to do with "not getting any". In high school the guys who liked to brag about all the snatch they were getting, were "not getting any". I still can't figure out why Harry picked out a bottom of the barrel state school in the middle of the fly over zone. You would have thought he could have gotten into a middle tier school in a better setting. My guess is the reason he fabricate the story about "Yale" is because he has always been ashamed about having a degree and masters degree from the U of Kansas. "P. Fritz" wrote in message ...

... In addition, after performing any maintenance task, they are the only blue-collar workers I know of that are forced to sign a legal document that can be used against them in any sort of civil or criminal litigation. Interesting. What's it say? |
