Re: Any reason why you are a AME or want to be one!
I work with about 15 other AME's, and I would say that only about two of them wish they were doing something else. For sure we all have complaints, but over all, I think most of us are happy. We have good pay, no shift work, and not a lot of pressure. I have seen the other side of it: crap pay, shift work, and pressure to get things done. And I'm still here. Aviation has been good to me, and thus my family, even with all the warts.

Doug, I don't think it's fair to assume that he works for the Gov't just because he's got good working conditions. Those companies are out there. They're not usually air operators though.helidougg8111 wrote:your being deprived of the full ame experience! you must work for a government service!Angusnofangus wrote:We have good pay, no shift work, and not a lot of pressure.

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.
