SCOUT - Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (LAME)
Good equipment fitters and wrenchmen here on the left coast can command top-class money virtually anywhere. I would have thought LAME's and AME's would have been on similar income.
I was paying a top-class diesel mechanic $150,000 p.a. as my workshop leading hand, in 1994 - and he could have got similar money elsewhere.
Today, those same people can command $250K p.a. in the heavy equipment industry - and any of them with a little nous have their own contract repair business.
