Don't get me wrong,I don't condone 1 LAME crews but I can see this is where Q is heading.My point being the Q LAME has to regain their power and rights and justify high earnings to their employer,most Euro LAME's earn far more remuneration and respect than their counterparts in OZ because AME's are kept as mechanics, not let loose with inspection/functional cards with little or no knowledge on type.It is far safer and cheaper to have a LAME do the inspections etc. over an inexperienced AME immigrant in a Forstaff boiler suit and your right,we all know what's happening in AVV but nothing is being done about it ,seems standards have been allowed to slip over the years.
