Re: AME Wages
36 old
Mainly E , with some M2 work when workload permit.
132,000 last year( 30% of that overtime). 105,000 the year before. basic at around 85,000 a year.
Manufacturing with AMO work at the same place. best engineering support I've ever had in this industry so far. Outstanding health benefits and insurance but an Average pension plan ( no employer contribution).
we've been hit hard by the current crisis and the ambiance sucks at this stage.
