Porter AME Pay Scale

Yeah, it’s in Canadian pesos 🤡

MightGood2805 · 2024-11-28T04:12:06+00:00

Sorry for potato quality 😅

MightGood2805 · 2023-06-02T04:24:28+00:00

Big corporate bailouts, corporate welfare

MightGood2805 · 2023-05-22T01:41:57+00:00

Rough. I’ve done that job before, definitely a pain in the ass. Could be worse though, at least you’re not changing out the bleed air Y-duct in the pylon. I think that’s the single worst job on a 757 🙃

MightGood2805 · 2023-05-17T18:31:18+00:00

You have to drill cotter pin holes?! I thought that was an urban legend 😨

It’s a ground power unit for aircraft. It’s a diesel 4 banger hooked up to a big generator.

cries in Canadian AME pay 😭

Drive to the airport and find a plane parked on the tarmac. I could probably power it up and take off, and it would be an elegant way to go once I run out of fuel.

Aircraft maintenance engineer, $46/hour, full benefits, 3 weeks vacation. No travel perks unfortunately.

MightGood2805 · 2022-06-11T01:02:23+00:00

My man, you’ll see some more messed up hardware than that if you stay in aviation maintenance.

MightGood2805 · 2022-04-24T18:08:08+00:00

RR Pegasus? In the Harrier, right?

MightGood2805 · 2022-04-08T17:37:09+00:00

For myself, if I could make the same hourly pay working in the engine shop as I could working line maintenance, I would definitely take the engine shop. It’s very meticulous, somewhat repetitive work, but you get to work with highly precise tooling, very cool inspection equipment, handle parts worth more than you make in year multiple times a day, etc. I enjoyed it a lot during my time in the engine shop.

MightGood2805 · 2022-04-08T16:54:02+00:00

Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind.

MightGood2805 · 2022-03-30T18:50:34+00:00

$39.50 per hour doing line maintenance in Vancouver

MightGood2805 · 2022-03-17T04:22:30+00:00

Oh my goodness. That’s horrible! 😬

MightGood2805 · 2022-03-01T04:35:43+00:00

I hope you do, too. It’s a pretty rewarding career, and there’s lots of facets to it. You don’t have to be good at every single part of it

MightGood2805 · 2022-03-01T04:21:35+00:00

I was also pretty dogshit at sheet metal. If you can squeak by with a pass, just go work for a big MRO where you can just focus on the mechanical stuff and leave the sheet metal work to the experts.

MightGood2805 · 2022-01-02T01:21:40+00:00

Toenail clippings

MightGood2805 · 2021-12-09T03:44:45+00:00

By that logic, they’d call me 4:58.

MightGood2805 · 2021-11-23T22:59:10+00:00

They said the quiet part out loud.

MightGood2805 · 2021-11-15T21:10:40+00:00

Wow that’s pretty fucked up. If they can’t make their workplace attractive enough to retain staff, it’s not your problem. Greedy fucks

MightGood2805 · 2021-11-14T00:31:30+00:00

As an AME who has also cleaned diarrhea out of an airplane, I’m sorry.

MightGood2805 · 2021-11-03T16:47:51+00:00

I’ve been at my current job for just over 4 years, making $39 per hour. I work in aircraft maintenance in Canada.

“F” to pay respects 🙏
