Support Westjet AME's

Lmao, is this even a job or a concentration camp? I'm done and the proof is I lost all my qualifications!

I'm not a Pilot but I know plenty of people who went to get their CPL. We all know how that profession works! You see how sh*tty these jobs are and how unreasonable it is to do? It wouldn't be surprising that these careers are not getting any interest! Having worked in Aviation for years, I know how sh*tty that industry is! What the f*ck, lol, this industry is so small that opportunities are rare! You wanna get into this industry? Lol!

I'm done being a loser! Tell me how are you people treated doing this kind of job?

There are lots of opportunities in this industry! Now is the time to be an AME, the industry is really beginning to up, I know a few guys that have had the pick of jobs, so pick the job you want apply and if you can at least pull your own weight on the floor you will do well! We all know that the industry is small, and that you may need to relocate, but heck thats better then living in your parents basement!

Alright, I need to jump in here, despite knowing better but I will feed this "internet troll". I find your level of "experience" to be inadequate to even have an opinion on our industry. From your previous post I am going to make a few assumptions...I know.. I know.. One should never assume...BUT he's made some pretty wild claims..ie years of experience, graduated in 2014, is 31 yrs old, and has left the industry "YEARS AGO"..
Dude, I've met plenty of people like you in this industry, and from the sounds of it you only "half assed" it anyway and wonder why you washed out of the industry.. C'mon... You're too inexperienced to even know what you don't know. I'd be surprised if you had even held a License! Alot of your post about losing your qualifications are even inaccurate. Truth be told, our industry is happy to not have you! You stipulated that you didn't even want to get into this, yet you did. WHY?? Our industry doesn't need people that are unmotivated, unqualified and franky half assed. I'm just gonna make a guess that your half assed attitude, pi@sed off an employer for multiple reasons and they kicked your butt to the curb and nobody else would have you..and rightfully so!

As for how i'm treated? I'm treated great, I have a great wage, great benefits package, and have a pension plan that is second to none. I rarely work a 40 hr week, might have to work a few night shifts a year but nothing excessive. I get to travel and see different parts of the world, all on a company aircraft. (just did a European trip, and crossed a few things off my bucket list ie Red Bull hangar in Austria).

In the most kindly way possible, get bent...


ANYHOW... Back to our West Jet brothers and sisters! any good deets??

Well said, If you're a good tech you can do well in this industry.

Dude, I never claimed to be as experienced as these guys. I never babysitted. I had an M2 license. I graduated accredited, went through the apprenticeship, got my logbook signed as record of experience, and I wrote the CARs. For me as a noob, the problem that I had are the high expense of doing this job and it's ridiculously low pay. The problems that you have as an experienced AME is different to what I'm having. Bro, let's be real, this profession, the pilot profession, and the aircraft/aircraft parts manufacturing profession are a big joke! You know how much I get paid as an AME with my expenses bro? The same thing with my current job right now, without the demands! It's a joke and you know it! These professions suck! Call me half-as*! Half-as* it is! I wouldn't be so and I wouldn't have this attitude if it isn't for this garbage corrupt of an industry!

I ain't doing this sh*t bro! They ain't attracting people, and if they do managed to do so, they ain't retaining them like what happened to me and most of my colleagues.
