Re: New apprentice tool questions

Check with Freightliner or some other trucking company. It may not be as expensive as you think.

Re: To all Experianced AME

Our repair shop does a mixed fleet. The apprentices in our shop write both M1 and M2 in 2.5 years. The numbers quoted by the poster above are incorrect.

The Airline was started by a Hindu couple who saw an opportunity to make money off their Muslim countrymen.

Re: AME Wages - AME's Unite!!

When I was in my last year of apprenticeship (2 1/2 years experience), I used to make 36575$/year, 10 hours nightshift on rotation 4-5-5 so I was working about 182 days/year, 1820 hours/year and this gives you the magic number of 20.10$/hour. I was working in Montreal (CYUL). May 2013 That's the mo...

Re: Fed's predicting AME surplus

and where does this inspector/mechanic crap come from?
Manufacturers.

Bell, Bombardier, etc. Mechanics/Technicians/assemblers do the work, the inspector signs it off at the completion of each stage.
It's all part of the same industry, different aspects.

Re: Fed's predicting AME surplus

And that article almost try's to make it sound like a good thing. Strangely, it does come across in an almost positive tone. I reread it a few times to make sure i understood the wording. The positive note means that there is an adequate supply of talent to meet the needs of industry. If the countr...

Re: Being Blacklisted

Most people may have friends at places where an applicant may have worked in the past. Casual conversations, off the record, may reveal more than an official reference.

Supply and demand seems to be the only thing that changes the numbers
In theory, but in reality, the supply side gets skewered by Temporary Foreign Workers.

Re: AME Wages - AME's Unite!!

What are you talking about? Its busier now than its been since Ive known it. Most AME's now are getting to choose which jobs they want, customers are getting pushed away. If youre a good, experienced AME in the summer of 2014, you've probably never had it better. Or am I way off? Helicopter side of...

Re: AME Wages - AME's Unite!!

We don't need Red Seal. Red Seal allows trades people to work between provinces, as trade certificates are issued by provinces. AME licenses are issued by the Federal government so we can work between provinces anyways. Wages aren't increasing because tariffs aren't increasing. Because there's too m...
