bubba Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Most helicopter owners have no problem paying their local dealership $100/hr to work on their 50,000 truck but have a hard time paying an AMO $75/hr to fix their multi million dollar aircraft. There is somthing really wrong with that! :down: I don't get out of bed in the morning for anything less than $40 per hour in town and $450/day plus per diem and expences Out of town. And I've never been out of work in 7 years. If you want qualified people to work on your helicopters you going to have to pay Because the rates are going up. JUST MY 2 CENTS :up: Bubba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait till after May 2007 when the Huges 500 blade daily, or hour or TQ event inspection reverts to a licesened engineer. Hi dirofmtce: Even though I am endorsed on the 500, I am not current. I have forgotten what a 500 blade inspection entails. Does your statement mean a licenced AME will have to be with the machine at all times? Is there enough 500 guys around to cover things? Thanks in advance Splitpin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
& Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hello Splitpin: In my previous statement I was referring to HAC's release of information. In it concisely, it means that the only person who can sign off the daily AD is a licensed engineer on type. Go to the HAC site for more info.

darcor Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Let's all realize that owners/operators are not hurting. Cootoes to them. However when I see a check for 30,000.00 when they bought fuel low and sold it for more, all fair. We ask for a raise.... Do u hear the crickets.... Just 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
