I think that we should be forced to retire at 40

It took a few years but I think I've earned a pretty good wage. Could always be more!
I really don't think you can equate wages with geography, where you live is a personal choice.
Like the song says." If you don't like what you got why don't you change it, "

Worked there for a little bit, not too bad. Wages are negotiable, trust me. I suggest you get in there get some installation experience ,learn the standard practices, and get some troubleshooting experience when you screw up. You'll get your logbook filled out as you are doing the installations. You...

Usually these threads are filled with guys saying "don't do it" I can only give you my perspective as an operator that there is no profession in this industry more needed desperately than good AME's. I've been searching for a good one for a long time and have yet to find anyone. There is no other p...

The structure has probably become magnetized, try degaussing the area to neutralize the magnetic field. Happens a lot.

Under the new Licencing system, he can keep writing until he passes it. All he has to renew is his application. Not like the old system where he would have to write all of them over again if not completed in a year. Since he has to write the transport exams he has been out of college a while,because...

Hey somebody, where you working?

Haven't worked there myself, but know people who have. They say the company is alright but they wanted to get away from the travel so they could see the kids every day. So I guess they are having a difficult time finding young single people to do rotations here and there. ??
Cheers!

Apply for both. You don't need a seperate log book, I've used the same book for 3 ratings. That's why you list the A/C the task was done on. Tire on M1 A/C ,1 entry. Tire on M2 A/C, 2 enrties. Tire #1 + Tire #2 = M1,M2. Then you need the time, 24 months ???? or whatever it is.
Good luck

is the standard practices for airframe and engine and avionics same or is it different? Different Exam, but then again it would have to be, really wouldn't be fair to the M Guy's giving them an exam like that :P :lol: Seriously though, I have written Standard Practices for both an E rating and for ...

Hey people, I have a friend who has an itch to be in BC. He's into skiing, mountain biking and crap. We all know it's expensive to live out there. He has an M1, piston and turboprop time, floats and wheels and good with sheet metal. All around good mechanic! What kind of wage could somebody like tha...

airplane back into service Ourkid, this statement is your whole problem, we don't return the airplane back to service. The maintenance release is for the work accomplished. If a Nav Receiver is replaced that is what gets released. If a Phase Inspection is completed, that is what gets released. If a...

So , 2000, did you get an answer from your DOM? You have an M2 and E , I'll bet there are companies out there that will give you Type Training!
Cheers!

If he has an ACA, the AMO is liable You must be freakin S*%^ing me! You really don't believe that do you!? The AMO just does the leg work for you, gives you the resources, necessary manuals , tooling , training and such. All the stuff you would have to do on your own if you didn't work for an AMO. ...

Very true Vickers

Have had opportunity to work for places where the logbooks are set up like that. Now I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that it's only the way the book was printed at the Companies request. There is probally a spot after each line for an AME's signature, date, Licence/ACA number right? Well once ...

Curious as to why the AME with the E Rating does not have Type Training, is the company cheap?

Avionics guy with an E license but no type course signing the maintenance release for the aircraft. We say this is not in accordance with CARS 571.11, the company says otherwise. He would be signing for the work completed,not signing a Maintenance release for the A/C. As a matter of fact nobody sig...

Is not getting paid for on-call the usual scene? NO No pay for OT? NOT NORMAL Are holidays available without getting the gears for taking them?

recently discovered that AME's with M1 & M2 are able to sign off on all E stuff Be careful, it's not as simple as that! The CAR's state that if you have M1,M2 no other rating will be issued , to hold an ACA and release E or S Specialized Maintenance you have to have Specialized Traing and experienc...

Ha ha wanted to see how long it would take. I'm the M guy who gives the E guys a hard time! Don't worry I've had E guys save my butt lots. "oops, do you smell smoke?...Avionics!!!"

Oh and if you don't want to actually do anything go E [/quote]
