Re: Who's hiring?

It doesn't seem like AME's have been hit hard, because we haven't recovered yet from the last few recessions. Wages have been stagnant since the '70s. Management's attitudes haven't changed since the '50s. Airlines are outsourcing everything to Brazil, Mexico, India, and Bangladesh. We can't be kic...

Re: Maintenance Engineers

brv, You should look for some professional help....before is to late. As backstabbing goes, you have Master degree.... And you never answer, what you can do to improve AME positions, and would you rock the boat? At the end, of maybe union, maybe Canada wide AME association to do something for all le...

Re: Maintenance Engineers

One of the best post I seen so far. Went a bit of topic but did answer why is shortage of qualified AMEs. I know few endorsed guys (727,757, 737) that left aviation, sick and tired of working outside, expected to be available 24/7, harsh conditions, overworked and under payed. Those of you who work ...

Re: ICAO Type 2 License

They send your new license to China, lol.
Our Licence is reconized in ICAO (which office is in Montreal).
ICAO type I used to be shop license and type II aircraft.
Hope this help.

Re: Citation X CMM

if you are maintaining a CX you should have a current library already? but if you are just curious about something i'm betting most CX Mech's who have paid $$ for this document will probably protect their own business interests and not share the document. Stupid answer, if you can't help don't both...

I've seen flight schools DoM at 80K, airline DoM 90K and up, company car, bonus etc. Hard to say, might be bit higher or lower. Big Boyz club,
KFC, AirTran, First Air over 90K for sure

At this point first swap probes, check wires ( too many splices etc),
if that does not help, swap indicators. Cheap and always works.

The biggest "IF" with the Lycoming engines is sitting time. If you buy an AC with a low time engine and the last overhaul was 20 years ago chances are that the cam shaft needs replacing. But if you bought a high time engine from a flying school that did 6-800 hours per year you should be in good sh...

Sound like bad setting on carburator. What is Idle RPM, check Mixture on 1000 and 1500 RPM. (pull mixture back and look for RPM rise, on 1000 RPM just a needle move up before drops, and on 1500 around 25 or needle thickness before drops).
Hope this help
