Aircraft Fuel Systems Career Ladder, AFS 423X3.
Abstract
The Aircraft Fuel Systems career ladder job inventory was administered during the period January through April 1979. Survey results are based on responses from 1,328 of the 2,142 (CEM Code 43200 personnel excluded) personnel assigned, or 62 percent of all assigned career ladder members. Two jobs clusters and two independent job types were identified within the career ladder. Fuel Systems Repairman, representing the largest cluster, form the core of the career ladder and account for 82 percent of the survey sample. The second cluster, Senior Managers, was composed of high level supervisors in the field. Independent job types identified were War Reserve Material (WRM) Tank Specialists and Technical Instructors. Overall, the career ladder was found to be very homogeneous in nature, with many common tasks performed across almost all types of jobs. The career ladder has remained relatively stable over the last five years, and no major problems were identified. However, there do appear to be some minor shifts in emphasis in the jobs performed by WRM tank specialists over the years. This group is also the least interested in their job and perceive that their talents and training are poorly used. A review of how 423X3 personnel are utilized in the WRM function may be needed.
