M1 AME or Apprentice

[ottopilot]

Familiar....

In my case being familiar is more about being familiar with the apprentices ability to find the correct info and complete a task, ask the right questions and knows when to ask for help. ANy task that calls for disassembly, I will always have a look at prior to close up. I'm a big supporter of teaching apprentices and once you INVEST the time into them they are very valuable assets. I can list 10 senior apprentices 4+ years who I would take over many engineers I have worked with. Training is an investment but only if your company can retain the apprentices. I feel proud to have taught many apprentices and showed them the things I have learned and I hope they do the same.

Hiring engineers is hard depending on what area of the country you are in and as stated in some cases it does work...

If I didn't have the mentorship I had when I entered I'm sure things wouldn't have worked out the same...but someone decided to invest in me...because they loved the industry that made them who they were and they decided to return the favour.
In my opinion this is a fundamental responsibility of all AMEs...but some don't agree

No No No No No No No No No!!!!!!!!!
Aviation is a job it is not who you are or make you who you are.
If it does get a good lawyer, you will need him for the divorce.
People that define themselves by their job are a festering sore in the workplace. While not unique to aviation, the industry seems to have more than it fair share of you. You need to live outside the workplace.

For the record.
I am a Husband.
I am a father.
I am an AME. I work to provide for my family. I have taken lower wage positions so I could be home every night to see the first steps, the first tooth that fell out and Fix the car that wont start for my wife and the toilet that won't flush.
This is my definition off responsibility.
Do yourself a favour and find yourself outside of aviation. People like yourself who do not understand this comment are the reason this industry is in the state it is in and why guys like Pat Richard are as indelicate as they are.
Think about that that long and hard before you start calling people names Neverblew.

Beautiful, just beautiful, especially the last bit.

Indelicate, I like that.

I have taken lower wage positions so I could be home every night

Done the same. Best move in aviation I ever did. Missed way too much doing shift work.
