I think a lot of school leaving teenagers would be extremely happy to be taken on by one of the big firms as an apprentice of some sort and in the context of passengers freezing to death on buses, it dosen't matter if cheif engineer, apprentice, cleaner or tea boy turns the heating on as long as it gets done )

With regards to Mayneway's post 13 he says that drivers aren't meant to go into the engine bay, if it was a cleaner or the tea boy or a jack the lad, health and safety would poke their noses in. Apprentices are cheaper and they would learn where x, y and z are on different engines. They could also try and get a broken down bus going again when they have enough experience under their belt.
It would save money on not having the tow truck.
