You Lames have short memories , the current pay scale was brought in to give HM LAME's a career path beyond just one licence , the trade off for that was that Line LAME's would get a bit less , but at the end it would equal out . Well here you are , whinging and complaining , but could not give a toss about the old AME , you greedy grubs. in the end you will destroy yourselves with greed, mark my words!
There is no distinction between line and heavy LAME's in the agreement. A LAME is a LAME.
A 63 year old AME is just bitter. Its understandable when you see these 20 somethings who make an effort to better themselves get paid twice as much as you even though you probably mentored them a few years earlier.
Your anger should be directed to the AWU/AMWU/CEPU/whoever is your AME union for your sub national average wage, not the ALAEA or the people who certify for your work.
