Re: Piston Idle Speed
Idle speed should have been checked on run-up before take off, if this had been carried out student pilots would have had no trouble at all.

Re: Maintenance Engineers
No they would not pay 50 hr because some shmuck will do it for 30 hr because of his/her "love for aviation", and there lies the biggest problem in this industry, and as long as people say that and do that it will never change, its unfortunate but in this buisness it hurts you to love your job.

Re: Going rate for an annual
There is a simple solution to this ongoing problem, all AME's should just charge the exact same price of say 1200.00 all across canada, then there would be no b******* as it would cost the same everywhere, everyone is getting paid fairly, annuals are being carried out to the same standard.
