It flew in, it'll fly out

There now! And I always thought there was only five of us knew how to type;-)

Still, apart from hairy-**** engineers, are there any cute lady engineers out there to swap dirty stories with us?

Yes its a pity more of us dont have something to say (myself included)

Hey,

Lets start a count and add, say, how long we've done and who we work for.....
This could be a VERY short thread!!!!!!

AME wages Suck!

Engineers are always too tired at the end of the day since management always has the work force pared down to the bone that they seldom have the energy required to represent themselves in a forum. Throw in the constant shift work disruption to your circadian Rhythm and you get the "who gives a toss feeling".

EX EXpat

It flew in, it'll fly out

Avionics, 22 years in the industry. UK and Aus licensed. Worked on most Boeings from 707/720 excluding 727 & 777; A300/310/320 & DC10. Have done contracting, been an ex-pat etc.

Hi Fellow LAME's,

Its good to hear from so many, Yes I agree that we as Lame's do not get much spare time I guess that we all work in excess of 40-50 hour a week. I have always believed that we should have duty hours such as the Pilots, not that I do not want to work but there is a safety issue here, I have seen the results of tired engineers.
The situation here in Australia is getting worse, not many organisations train or taking on apprentices, and Lame's leaving the industry, whats the situation like in your countries?.

Prolly not the right forum for me, but I'm here too.

Flight Simulation (real ones, not toys), 30 years, downunder.

i'm here too, almost 40 years in the game, work for major defense contractor, A&P.

Airbornespanner, and others if interested.
The Airline I work for has recognised the fact that human factors is a serious thing and as such has put time limits on how long we can work for in a day and that we have a minimun rest period. Max hrs in AOG situation that can be worked is 16 with minimum 8hrs rest. Normal shift max 12hrs.
20 1/2 years in aviation most recently CX for last 5 years.

sorry pc playing up
