Re: Any reason why you are a AME or want to be one!
Aviation had been pretty good for me. Yes the pay could be better, yes there are sometimes I wished I did something else. Being a AME has in the end provided a good career and a relatively comfortable life for me and my family so far.

Re: AME Conference
As far as I know a specific invite to the associations was not sent. The invitation was specific though that this was open to all AME's. Talking to one of the organizers though, I don't think the associations came to mind, which in itself is a little telling. That being said though this isn't the ti...

Re: AME Conference
It was good. It was more relevant to a "jet guy" in the topics. This was not made to form a new AME association. The mindset was to bring maintenance people together. The marketing departments for AC and WJ were having fits I'm sure but the respective VP's were very excited. It was too bad that no W...

Re: AME Conference
I will apologize on behalf of the WJ AMEA it wasn't done intentionally we just got busy with internal issues and a few of us have changed positions that have really used up our extracurricular time that we once had to be able to look past our walls. I haven't looked at the agenda, just the main page...

Re: AME Conference
I was a little taken aback when this was presented to us a couple of weeks ago to be honest. But this may be what the AME Associations need. With the backing of all of the two carriers this may be something that you should be encouraging your membership to attend. At very least poke around to see wh...

Re: aircraft works and their $5000 signing bonus
The pool around YYC is drying up. Which is reflected in the wages being offered and hopefully it has some others reconsidering their wage strategy.

Re: Did you get your galley cart?
low hanging fruit. Its easier to shake down someone making 40K a year. Its not a airline thing, its for everybody. If you have a parking spot provided for you that costs money (ie normal people would have to pay) its a taxable benefit. My wife who works for a telecom company was saying CRA was looki...

Re: Did you get your galley cart?
Well the parking was a "dropped ball" as it were. But its not like WJ walked away from the issue. They got CRA to only go back to 2011 as opposed to 2008 = WIN!!! After that you get stuck in a spiral of what ever WJ kicks into help out with the tax bill, it in reality compounds the issue by creating...

Re: Did you get your galley cart?
Old news. That third meeting was a long time ago, I'd say the momentum is slowing a bit. But still...I don't know what extra the flight attendants can get from CUPE other than the higher union dues. I have to preface this first: I am only presenting the facts as I understand them, I am not biased ei...

Because I can't post this on Westnet... Get a F$&king life people!!! If you want I can hook you up with some U/S parts from the scrap bin. It's a symptom of a much bigger problem unfortunately.

Re: If you have a chance to start all over again .. A&P or
Are you a American? That's the million dollar question. As a American (by birth) obtaining a A&P was easy. If you are not, its quite a bit harder now.

Re: Choosing college to become AME-M, any advice will be tha
I'm a kool-aid drinker. I like the job, hours kinda suck but until we can convince people to fly at night it is what it is. I broke easily through the 100K barrier this year with very little OT ( I try to bank as much as possible and take it off later). Yeah I'm a M2 guy and I work for a airline. Bu...

Re: EVIL FLOURISHES WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING
Tell that to the FA's. Apparently you may get profit share to entice you to stay union free, oh wait what, I already get profit share!?! The website is so out of touch with the realities of WJ. They (CUPE) can't even take the time to investigate WJ how do the FA's think that they are going to get me...
