Wages for an apprentice AME
Hey guys, you reckon $20/hour is bad... some companies in WA are still paying their 1st year apprentices around $9/hour. In fact that very same company started me as an AME just after the last recession on $12.65/hour!
I did my apprenticeship on $15 an hour , I was the best paid in the class for that year in fixed wing , the guys from heliwest where on $20 first year. Lowest was $9.60 an hour in Kununnara... I let you guess the operator . Then people wonder why LAME's numbers are deceasing
