Well, I look at the wages of German and Japanese workers (LAME's A&P's or whatever they are called) and I see that I would be happy to earn what they do. So I ask, is the reason that everything is turning to poo because I am over paid (because of union action) or is it because our pollies.
I believe the issue is not LAME salary but as Steve pointed out at the Senate Estimates the ratio and quality of the subordinates. Overseas they are getting low skilled people to work for peanuts under the LAME.
In Australia we get people who have various qualifications working their way toward a License.
Australia has created a system that works and can keep producing LAMEs but now that system is apparently to expensive so the Government will assist in tearing it up by changing all the rules.
