PS, what's an AMM?
Actually, no, quite the reverse in fact as I understand it. Those whose "services were no longer required " were
much, much higher up the food chain and their departure had serious ramifications for a relaxed retirement
An AMM is the current equivalent of what you would have known / encountered as FLM's albeit there are differences. Engineers all start as AMM's, then, in theory, do 12-18months being liney's before returning to do their Tech's course to become SAC Techs, as was. before the latest name change. They were streamed however between Mech / Avionic for future employment, but if they were Avionic, they could be back on a Techs course within 9 months due to the shortage.
