Voyageur AME overseas

[AKIPA]

Just wondering if there are any AME’s currently working for Voyageur in Africa around. I’m looking for information on pay, living conditions, rotations and such. Send me a PM if you don’t want to share this on an open forum. Thanks.

I had a good buddy work for them.Africa all depends on what Country.One of the countries he said if he had to go back he would quit.
Every bug is a deadly bug.
Beer/food is cheap.
$50 US perdiem + $50 US in (hot!) countries and I don't mean the weather.
Contract is mostly with UN so you get Tax break.
Dash-7,-8 & RJ.Experience an asset but Endorsment not neccesary.
When he was there 8 weeks in 4 out.They did not have enough people to do 6/6.
People are always quiting so sometimes your stay is extended.
Money was Good.

He made it a year before he moved on.

Have any you heard from any AMEs who currently work for Voyageur? Alot of the threads on here are pretty old. Would really like to hear some recent info. PM me if you got anything. Pat Richard NEED NOT REPLY....... hopefully that guy is retired or threw himself off a cliff; the later being better.
Cheers

So you just want sunshine pounded up your chute, huh? If you didn't NOTICE, there are SEVERAL responses, in the negative, from different posters. Why the special hate for me bitch?

Another thing dummy, if you're going to insult me, learn how to spell. Example, does getting sunshine pounded up your a#$ get you of, or does it get you off?

In any event newbie, gfy.

[Bashedknuckles]

LOL. Must have hit a tender little nerve Listen bud I may be new to posting on a forum but I've seen all your bullshit on here for quite some time now. I'm not going to waste my time rambling off a bunch of verbal diarrhea like you do. You really need to get a life bud. I bet you sit around in your underwear on your fat ass at your PC probably munching on a bag of cheesies wasting your pathetic life away on these forums correcting spelling errors. You should just get out of aviation. It’s no one else’s fault that you settled for shitty jobs and shitty pay. With all the negatives you splurge out your pie hole I think you are most likely a half assed, shitty engineer who couldn’t make it anywhere. Bet you couldn't troubleshoot yourself off the toilet if you tried. You are bitter about that aren’t you? Seriously, do us all favour and jump OFF that cliff ! In all seriousness, wipe the cheesies off your hands and your d#$k and go get laid. It might help your situation. You know bud, if you weren’t such a victim I would give you a heads up when we are hiring. Then you might get paid the wage you always say you deserve ( trust me I know how much you think you are worth, and buddy I make it and more)…. We have all read your crap and trust me I can speak for all the engineers I work with, one, we don’t want your type, two, you would'nt last.

Sincerely,

waiting for some drawn out pathetic rambling response from Pat "the victim" Richard, with some grammer and spelling corrections

[Pat Richard]

Have some issues, huh amigo?? Not the least of which appears to be conceit... an always desirable trait in an apprentice.
Fantastic analytical skills though, you figured me out 100%, LOL! Make believe what you want about me, but that response had juvenile redneck loser(ispeakforeverybody/budx4/igetlaidudont/Icanoutroubleshootyou/imasmartermechanic makingmoremoneythanyouandyouareashittyone, blah, blah,blah,blah) screaming from it, but Im sure you feel it was epic, right?.
But lets be honest, you were trolling for me, weren't you sweety? I have a bad temper so I bit, but I am flattered you so obviously singled me out.

You'll fit right in at voyageur, superwrench, just not sure who deserves who...



buh bye, hero.

[Troubleshot]

Yeah man, Voyageur is a great place to work, no need to do any research about this company cause it will be all good...trust me. One day maybe...just maybe, you will recieve the coveted CRJ type endorsment course for your dedicated service...

Seriously folks, if you have ask about this company by now...you are not doing your home work and deserve what you get.

[Bashedknuckles]

Hey Dick, I don't remember saying I was applying. I to looked into them in 06 and laughed. Just curious if they made any changes wise guy .
By the way bud I should apologize for that horrible post about you the other day. A bunch of us were sitting around the hangar havin a couple after work and wanted to see how fired up we could get you. Ya i was trolling lol. I gotta admit you are the brunt of alot of jokes. Know a guy who used to work with you and said you were like a wind up toy....he was right lmao . Anyway stay happy and keep paying your taxes bud and light a fire or two in the bush this summer, gas is getting expensive for my boat.

Nice work bashedknuckles, you call a senior member out and flame him in a public forum where he is well established. You claim to make more money than him, awesome. I will compare T4s over a beer any time you are ready. Pat for the most part has a very accurate cross section of the industry, something he has gained over years of living through it. I agree with what Pat posts, but i didn't always feel that way. I am 13 years in and the glow i once had for the industry is gone, there truely is wisdom in those that cut thier teeth before you. It may take a few years, but eventually you will get it. Some day you will get out of bed and realize you are on your way to work, only to do your job while training cocky assholes like you. It gets old fast, proctologists see less assholes in a week than AMEs. It is aviation, by nature it breeds pricks that think they know it all because thier dad was a pilot, they played flight sim on PC, or they were in air cadets. Wait til you get a taste of the industry and are actually held accountable for a fleet, including the testosterone beneath you, then you have an arguement. Until then, keep swinging. Its funny for us older, wiser types. We have already lived through what you artificially never expect to see.

[SeptRepair]

Well said TCAS

[Bashedknuckles]

Fair enough, I conceit. Apologies Pat. I admit your take on most of this industry is on par. Had no right to call you out like that. I'm in a pretty good place where most of the senior guys are 25 plus yrs here and happy. We get a great wage lots of time off and are treated like gold....better than the pilots if you can believe it. I do sometimes forget the 90% of the rest of the industry. I did see it for the first four years of my career and yes it was ugly. TCAS was spot on. Sry for calling you out like that, you've earned the right to your opinions. I do respect your more experienced point of views. Gotta find a way to bring this profession to where it should be for all the AMEs in this country. Appologies to Pat.
sincerely,
Tail between my legs

Does Pat even still work in the industry?

[Pat Richard]

Does Pat even still work in the industry?

Yes he does, on a selective basis. If I was a gray hair it would be called "semi retired".

[maxpower76ta]

I often wonder about all the voyageur bashing on here, I've survived it for almost two years now and I can honestly say its not so bad. So what do you want to know?
