I couldn’t agree more. It’s not just the money. In Canada, being an AME is not considered a skilled trade. It has been suggested that the standards should be lowered to make it easier for someone to get there AME license. That is not a fix. We are short doctors and nurses. Should we lower the standards to become a doctor or nurse? I hope not. I agree the industry needs to do more to attract young men and women. More needs to done at the High Shcool level. I have over 30 years experience and I made it a point not to let my kids pressure a career in aviation. At the time it was because of the wages and also the many log days to keep aircraft serviceable and flying. Aviation is not a 9-5 job. It’s 24/7, 365. It’s not for everyone.

Looking at the number of Job Adverts for Aircraft Mechanics, Engineers and Technicians currently running on this and many other platforms, this image is in danger of rapidly becoming the reality that many MROs are facing. There is a World Wide shortage of aircraft maintenance personell, yet an ever growing number of aircraft. Unfortunately JUST throwing ever increasing wages at the current people within the industry is not going to fix this shortfall. For many decades the highly skilled and qualified people that keep these magnificent machines serviceable and airworthy have been undervalued. That is now finally starting to change but I fear only due to supply and demand reasons, not because the work they do is more respected and valued. Industry needs to change its approach to maintenance, in many MROs it's still being done exactly the same way it was done decades ago, it needs to move forwards, we are still stuck in a never ending demand for countless amounts of physical paperwork multiple workstations in every hangar full of sometimes hundreds of sheets of paper that all need filling in by hand, signing multiple times for the same task (MRO task sheets, Customer task sheets, maintenance tracking system task sheets, etc, etc), sometimes inadequate maintenance manuals (some OEMs are much better than others) aircraft designed and built for aesthetic appearance with little regard for actual maintenance activity (which takes up a large percentage of an aircraft's life) facilities that in some cases are pre 2nd world war and in desperate need of upgrade to become a pleasant environment to work in and often unrealistic expectations and demands on the timelines people are given to work to. Regulatory authorities need to change their approach to regulation, instead of making things easier and clearer a lot of regulation seems to have the opposite effect, are these changes really needed or is there an element of politics at play between different organizations? Whilst I fully appreciate the need to ever tighten up on Safety, this is already one of the safest industry's in the world and not all changes seem to be safety driven, ICAO sets a global standard, why can't maintenance regulations and licensing requirements meet one global standard? One Global License with one set of rules. If you can certify work on an aircraft in the Uk, why can't you certify the same work on the same airframe just because it happens to of landed in a different country, many many examples of crazy limitations and restrictions that apply differently between A&P, UK, EASA, and so it goes on. Whilst none of these areas help recruit more people, they make the job a lot more difficult than it needs to be, it doesn't help retention, it doesn't help make the job more attractive. Whilst individuals can make investment in its people and facilities, until there is a more joined up change to the way things work, I fear that we will see more and more hangars looking like the below.
