That may have something to do with your location. I would come on rotation or contract, but not full-time. 23 years in Yellowknife 2 vacations. In most cases, engineers get paid way less than when rests on our shoulders, hence wages are the number one driving force why people motivate themself to enter that field - and get disappointed. Even as a contractor, they have the gust paying us 35,00 per hour while full well knowing that this is a business and not employment.
I would say, make a decent offer, take care of travel and logistics would be willing to work away from wife and home.

I am almost certain that it is not you or your company that is to blame on the issue. Anyone looking into working for you also will notice that Thunder Bay is a location to be get used to. I have been driving through a few times now and the condition of this town, would not make me move there if I had children to raise. Luckily, I dont. So I might be interested.

This has nothing to do with ame’s, you should start a new topic for airfield maintaining etc

You’re close lol maybe start a new thread in general comments about airfield maintenance? I’m sure someone out there will know someone that does it.

The constant ads fro AME’s, AME’s “without a licence”,(whatever that means, Journeymen AME’s, and just plain heartbeats makes me wonder. What is happening in aviation? Is it expanding? Are people quitting in droves? What is going on in the biz these days? Desperation? Enquiring minds want to know. Seems to be from all the usual bottom feeders plus the odd midwater feeder.

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.

Companies in general are just like us, they don't want to mess with you. They might need you again soon.

From what I understand is covid really pushed back aviation and a lot of licensed AMEs retired.. now us students are having a very hard time finding apprenticeships that aren't 4000km+ away. It's a bit daunting really.
