Re: Top Paid AMEs
I’m seeing that, I don’t understand why they keep rates so low? I don’t think I can wait around for wages to go up, from what I’m reading these wages will never increasePitchLink wrote: ↑Mon Dec 13, 2021 6:30 pmThey’re not good enough…Crossthreaded wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 2:53 pm What are ames making in southern Ontario?

Re: Top Paid AMEs
I hear that Porter has just increased their pay substantially approx 7$/hr. Does anyone have their pay scale to share? Smart move to get and retain some talent especially since Encore has moved to the Westjet AMO and are receiving a much better payscale now. The sharing of pay scales is what will help push our industry’s wages up to where they belong.

Re: Top Paid AMEs
It seems like pay-scale is very secretive with most employers. The ones I’ve found through interview process are really discouraging. I don’t think I want to do this anymoreMechman wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 6:44 pm I hear that Porter has just increased their pay substantially approx 7$/hr. Does anyone have their pay scale to share?

Re: Top Paid AMEs
7 dollars an hour. So now it’s 27 dollars an hour, to live in Toronto, work nights and get abused. Maybe you get a day off on your birthday or a free parking spot or better yet…..benefits like every other minimum wage and above worker in Canada. Joke. But it’s so passionate and rewarding…not.

Re: Top Paid AMEs
This thread needs updating or revival. Seeing wages on indeed but the spread of $25-70/hr (in the same job ad with the same requirements) seems very disingenuous and a bit of employer chumming for workers going on. Any updates on wages, fixed wing and rotary alike?
Re: Top Paid AMEs
Can you imagine making 35 dollars an hour in 2022 as a licences AME to “have fun in the North”. Well Alkan Air seems to think that’s acceptable. I made more money than that 15 years ago “to have fun in the North”. I am hoping that was a typo. All travel, accommodations etcetera were covered back then too plus per diem. What a joke aviation is. Good luck to all that apply in convincing yourself you are “having fun in the North” and you also get to be “on call”. I am ever grateful I am out of that slimy industry. Pathetic.
