Re: If not AME then??

This is a trade of passion, not wealth. Aviation will love you with that mindset. You are their dream person The fact that he’s saying that as a new to industry learner is just so sad, and I’m sure he’s repeating that from somewhere/one else. If he organically produced that thought there are severa...

Re: Discounted Maintenance Type Courses

For me, its cost of living and taxation, and additionally almost every "desperate" employer or agency continously hounding me with the same shit offer over and over. Which in most contract cases is almost the same offer that I was getting 15 years ago. Sure, they bump up the hourly rate $10 or $15 b...

Ah yes, the perspective of enthusiasts.

You are the bane of this industry with your bottomless enthusiasm and mouthfoaming passion that keeps the logic side of your brains from functioning.

Re: Maintenance Engineers

Im curious also.

Contract offers arenot even what they were 10 years ago, in either quality or quantity, yet almost anybody I talk to goes on about how shorthanded they are and you see the same ad's repeated here.

Re: KBA Antarctic pay?

Antarctica is one of the few places on earth where you can't really go privately. That has a certain appeal. Okay, I cant say I even begin to understand that but fair enough. All the things I, and you, mentioned still apply and then some including the poor pay. To be fair, KBA was a known joke mone...

Re: Air Canada looking for FT exp M2 for $33 a/hr....

When one takes into account that the majority of those positions are at YYZ, YVR, etc, it really enforces how ridiculous the expectations are that they believe that people will respond en masse to thier ad's. I know the types that will, and they are more than welcome to take them. No way in hell I w...
