2. Maybe increase the wage of the AME for when he first starts his apprenticship as Electricans, Plumbers, Brickies, and Chippies all out to the AME by at least 30% of his basic pay and the AME wage more reflects what a app hairdresser gets. (no joke)





increase the apprentice pay by 30%,that should bring them close to a Grade 3 LAME at Qantas.

I would not recommend this trade to anyone,i spent 20 yrs in the game with constant exams only to be shown the door with 400 other very experienced people 2 yrs ago.
I now earn 3 times as much in retail,to what i was earning as a LAME.

If you want to earn a living wage become a Qantas manager,otherwise get an apprenticeship in the building game,and build model aircraft on the weekends.
