We had a briefing from Tobin today, he couldn't elaborate on the breakdown of LAME/AME.
But then the cabin experience manager dropped his bundle with the following numbers, he wasn't sure if he was allowed to but then convinced himself that he was, so here goes
SAM 51 LAMEs 59 AMEs
Cabin 19 LAMEs 40 AMEs
SIT/SDT 29 LAMEs 6 AMEs.
I might be 1 or 2 numbers out, I didn't write them down but they would be very close to the mark.
Apparently SAM(excluding cabbo's) has about 600 operational staff. Of which I reckon 400 are operational and 200 are on secondment in some cushy office job.
