I concur.

Offered my services to upper management to x-train over from 24 year with the co. avionics /30 year total exp in aviation to fly for them, since they are having so much trouble finding loyal and competent pilots. 

Got no reply.

They used to value the pilot/mechanic idea.  Not anymore.  I guess I make too much currently in my present position for them to even consider the idea.  That and it's harder to replace highly skilled line avionics tech than a run of the mill fork lift pilot.

And yes, I fly (pilot) regularly...In case you were wondering.
