Oh crap! I know it's already happening! Schools are just pumping out apprentices every year, aircraft maintenance course is just becoming a business for colleges! But on the other hand, if I want to get paid for $24 at Premier Aviation, I might as well go back to school and take electrician!

If you think you are underpaid, time to move on! I also think, if you are licensed with experience, you have a bit of choice, and if you are avionics, even more choices! Big planes, big profit, good wages! Little planes, little profit, little wages! And still remember about ten years ago, I met an A...

What is a typical time to gain an AME license after graduation? Urban legend had told me that it takes a longgggggggggggggggggggg time. Especially the avionics license. 2 to 3 years after graduation is just a dream. Is it much more than that? 2 to 3 times more? Is TCCA too tough?? and/or the employ...

It seems like Sky Regional is in full hiring mode @avcanada Job Ads. Any inside info how much an ACA starts or what the pay structure is like? Can you get an endorsement right away at Sky?

Thanks,

Like what the other guy said, it depends where you are working and also depends on your knowledge and experience. From my experience, I got my AME license first which requires for being an apprentice for two and a half years with an "accreditation". Later on, my company required someone to have an A...

@Trumpfan--Thank you for your post--That WJ salary looks really good!

@Neverblue--Thanks for the post. I also like pension, but only if it is a government job, or a teacher's pension, or a bank pension, they have less likely to go bankrupt.

Thanks for the post flat face!

Great post to start! But how much does ACA's actually makes from AC? WJ? etc?

Hello To All The Hardworking or Hardlyworking AMEs out there! The reason why I'm writing this post is to shed the light on the AME Payscale on the Canadian Airline Operators. Every company is different, there are company's with a standard payscale or a "hush hush" payscale. I was just chatting with ...

Bell, Telus, BMO, are the companies that I know who uses call centre agents from another country! But RBC is taking it to the next level to see if Canadian's would would actually say or do something! I always think, and i'm vocal about it, that Canadian's specially "Ontarians" would always swallow w...

They sure do have money, buying all the technology they can, buying oil assets in AB, give it a few more years and Chinese will be the hottest language to learn!! Take a pick who you want to be your boss, the Greedy Americans from Wall Street or the Sneaky Chinese?

I just noticed something about the guys writing messages on this board, they are all new members!! Carefull 727driver, one could be AJ and his cronies spying on everyone!!! You'll be all caught in one AAA can!!

Anyone had interview lately with westjet?

I'd love to have that buddy pass system! That is the previlige of working for a big airline except I work for a cargo company. I know someone from A/C Jazz or should we call it "Chorus" who is selling buddy passes!! I hate the fu@king guy, you want his name?

I wonder if they would still hire me after all of this!!!

The rumour is over for the first quarter!! Don't worry another disgruntled pilot will start another one next quarter!!

Just to let you guys know, the conference is not about getting 15% paycut and a cancellation of the RRSP. Jazz's contract with Thomas Cook didn't go thru so now we're flying 757's for them!!! We got the Thomas Cook contract boys!! We need more 757 pilots and mechanics!!
