I'll have to agree there. When I drove big trucks, one of the old

I agree. What will be needed are mechanics who will be required to have
a certain level of training and/or experience, maintain a level of
currency, and receive adequate training on the specific equipment before
they can work on it. Sounds kind of like an A&P mechanic.

FWIW, the "current" technology aircraft engines can also be finicky
creatures, for all their supposed simplicity.
