Not sure who you're referring to as LAME haters, Hasherucf. I'm certainly not hating on the LAMEs, in fact I'm aspiring to become a LAME myself. The trouble is, it's the old catch-22: everyone wants LAMEs and no one want to train AMEs up to become LAMEs. So where am I expected to get SOE/OJT from to get my license?

The point you made about not being worried about GA work being outsourced or ex-QF LAMEs taking your jobs is a pertinent one and one reason why I'm trying to get out of the airlines and into a gig with a GA/ag/regional operator. But, you guessed it! They all want/need LAMEs, not AMEs.
