Puddle Jumper Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi Guys Well after 4 plus years trying to land a job in the rotary world I have came to the conclusion that it is time to approach my goals differently. I am planning on going back to school for aircraft maintenance. So my question is what should a new apprentice out of school be getting as a starting wage. Keep in mind I plan on twisting wrenches while at school in order to build a little experience, but this will only take place when I have time. Any input is appreciated, and if you want you can pm me with the details. Just want to cover the bases and get a rough game plan in order. Thanks, PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest graunch1 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 depending on where you are and the size of company you could be anywhere from $12-$16 ph with no license with many of the companies around YYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetbox Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Based on what we pay and other companie's pay scales that I have, you can expect to make between 2000 to 3000 a month depending on how many months of experience you have. (working on helicopters that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest graunch1 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I just heard today that SPAR is paying $21.50 per hour to avionics guys that have been out of school and working for them in YEG for the past year. I would assume that the oily rags are getting the same pay for the same level of expertice. I am not sure how much of their time is bookable towards the AME license however as SPAR does mostly C130 work with a bit of civvy L100s thrown in. Don't know how TC would look at that as time for the license. Avmax in YYC just hired a bunch of SAIT AME grads to work for $10 per hour as apprentices; so go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highbladedown Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Average $2000 - $2500/mth, least when I was at MHI that was close to what they were paying. Then again there is always Can Tire or Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
