Doh! Sorry I did indeed miss that. Thanks for setting me straight!
That still seems pretty low. In the AF, you generally could not be an FE unless you were first an A/C mechanic or other flight crew for 3 years. FEs generally were thought of more as the plane systems "know-it-alls", and inflight mechs. Probably different in the civilian world then I guess?
