What about training some Sydney AMEs to become LAMEs. There are people with all the basics completed, but are being held back from a type course because they do not have enough SOE time
!!!. If we could got rid of the "old/partimers" it would open up some spaces for other people to be trained on type!
I don't know that getting rid of the "old/partimers" would achieve anything. Most of them, all four of them, have licences that are dead or about to die. How would this open up spaces?
Pterois Volitans, maybe the 12 LAME positions that were recently made redundant from S.I.T. would be enough space for you to become a LAME.
The bottom line is, that there is no training for AME's at this point in time or the forseeable future, as the idea of management is to reduce the LAME numbers on line and increase, or at least maintain the numbers of AME's, if they can hold on to them.
