Lame apprentice wages

[Band a Lot]

That is about $123,000 per year if full time, so it seems sub contract that often includes accom normally anyway - but you still need a home or base.

What were B1 guys getting?

Back to the award rates above, $916 p/w for basic licence, for B1.1 or B2 first type is 20% of base rate, 5% for subsequent to a maximum total licence payment of 35% of base.

So maximum award payment for a B1 or B2 including type ratings is $1236p/w.

So all the tickets under the sun and it = $32 per hour. Less than double the minimum wage.

$45 for an AME , plenty of those AME's are licenced on type.
$65 for supervising LAME.


These rates have been stagnate for some time.

If that's contract not real good, as casual is $40 at the award.

I see why they are flocking to take up this trade.
