To any AME reading this, you should think long and hard about who you take advice from and who is representing you. Look at them and consider if that is where you want your career headed.
Do you aspire to be a LAME (of any sort) one day, earning decent coin? Or do you want to be spineless, disrespected, short sighted and rely on ridiculous amounts of OT to get a decent wage?
Is your rep helping your career advancement or lining his own pockets with OT $$$ while everyone else is trying to save their jobs.
Even a parked truck can't knock sense into some people...
