"Job opportunities should be favorable for people who have completed an aircraft mechanic training program…Employment is expected to increase 7 percent during the 2008-2018 period. Most job openings…will stem from the need to replace the many mechanics expected to retire over the next decade…Technicians with licensing that enables them to work on the airplane, either removing or reinstalling equipment, are expected to be in especially high demand."
