The majority of Aircraft Maintenance School is run by an engineer or someone who has been raised up as an aircraft engineer. There is nothing wrong with that, and in fact the civil aviation requirements stipulates that such school and MRO has to have the accountable manager who is a qualified engineer.
However, engineers has the major short coming, probably their long and intense engagement with machines, making them more suited to deal with machines rather than human. My company facing a major setback due to the unexpected departure of teaching staff.
The company was employing a large number of young aircraft engineer as junior lecturers. The arrangement works very well, the newly qualified engineers were still fresh with the subjects. They had just passed their examinations. As they do not have type rating, they were facing problem to get a suitable job. The company offered them the job. Their pay is relatively lower as they are still inexperience.
