Decent contract firms

Post by M1M2dude »

Looking for decent contract firms. I’m sure they exist🤔

I’ve been in the AME trade since 1990, predominantly M1 field but do have M2 but no endorsements. Extensive S work with some composites time. Lots of PT6 and recip experience, bush operations as well as heavy maintenance in small and large ac.

Signed up with several contract agencies but pay was what I was getting as a contractor 15 years ago.

I can work or not but not working for less or the same as I made then. I’m currently on leave from my other aviation job for a year.

I see a couple of users here mentioned they have contracting firms? Feel free to contact me for further discussion if you desire.

Hint, I’m not a kid, I like working and don’t party! Surely that’s worth something!

I hear you. Was in the same boat years ago before pulling the pin. I see most companies not even posting wages which is weird in itself but then I guess negotiating is still a thing. I haven’t dealt with any firms as of late but they are out there I am sure. Good luck.

The whole not posting wages is BS imop. If I was looking for a full time job I probably would not even apply if they don’t publish min and max wages/salary.

I suspect people don't want to post wages because then existing contractors would ask for the same amount :)

Yo, I just did my research, GSE tech makes more money than you people! The fact is, they are actually paying more to maintain the plane than the tug, but this money will have to be broken up to pay many people that makes up the bigger crew! Google it! Who would do this job if you could do the easy work for more! I should have been a GSE tech if this is how you would treat me! You see, nothing in this f*cking industry make any sense!

Evidence is right there! GSE tech get paid more! Yo, I dare you people to switch! The people running this industry have no brains!

Post the f*cking wage so the truth can come out! I would bet my bottom dollar that they are paying the GSE employee more!

You are workaholic? Lol! Look at what they are paying you!

I didn’t say I was a workaholic!

I said I like to work, as in I will work my shift, not stand around with my nose in the phone!

Too many workers have their phones out being distracted and not putting in a honest days work, for you to call someone a workaholic because they work their shift says a lot.

I get paid more than the GSE guys.

You dont even work in this industry anymore - you couldn't hack it. Go back to jerking off to your snakes.

@planenuts If I go to this forum to expose this industry, do you think I will still be working in it? Ofcourse I don't work in this industry anymore! I've had enough and this is obvious!

My argument is valid that there is a lack of opportunity in this industry because the industry is small, the job is too expensive to do, they give sh*tty schedule, and that it pays like sh*t from the start and for way too long! How about you compare this job to other jobs which I did? This job is ridiculous! Ofcourse if this is the case, do you think I would still be in it? People will die of famine before they could ever succeed at all! It's too f*cking hard to make money in this industry! I'm saying this as a young person because the economy is different today than what it was!

This job is a joke! Go lubricate your 737 you aerosexuals! I don't know what's up with you people!

Bro, you are still in this industry! The GSE do get it better and they get paid more! They start out more and their wage climb up faster to $45/hr or so in just 5 years! That job is a lot better and a lot easier and less expensive! I have an idea how it works in the airlines, nobody gives a f*ck right there! It's true! Don't try to be the hero! I'm telling you the truth, I'm proposing to you a better option, and you people are plugged! If you won't leave the plane, how about the young people that is making sh*t for an eternity go GSE?

You like the reputation that you are maintaining the plane? Lol! I will maintain the tug any day if this is how they treat us!

How about maintain the tug? Look at the wage, the expenses, and the work! Whatyusay?

Man. Have you thought about talking to a professional Counselor or Therapist about your disorder about the Aircraft Maintenance industry in Canada?

Like, show us on the doll where the bad man touched you.

I have an M1 license and a bunch of time contracting yet somehow I am nowhere as butt hurt as you are. If there was ever a case for someone to "smoke a f*cking joint and chill the f*ck out for a minute"; you would be it.

Breathe bro. 1... 2... 3....

Okay. Now stop derailing literally every maintenance thread on this forum.

Inland Air is paying 100k/year base + 1 month paid vacation + health/dental. 9-5 m-f flexibility in work hours, never away from base. Easy work on a straight fleet of beavers. pretty good for M1
