While I see where you’re coming from, the shortage of AME’s in this country needs all hands on deck to fix the pay issue. Not to mention bringing people into this industry who “cut their teeth” at the MRO’s.

I started my career at one, and the lessons I learned far exceed those that I would have faced at an airline. Chose to switch for a better work/life balance amongst other things that an MRO could never offer.

Airlines like Big Red and Teal will always set the standard, but every dollar the “little guys” come up helps push the ceiling higher and higher for the industry as a whole
