The main problem with this chronic complaint is the ignorance of the supposedly trained and wise. The AMM's entering service on the whole are enthusiastic, hard working individuals who look to their supperiors for example, leadership and knowledge. In certain respects it is the supperiors who are failing and not the AMM's.
I joined as a mech and when I was a liney on my first tour, I looked to learn from all the techies, I loved the line but I wanted to do what the JT's were doing. People dont change, The AMM's are looking to learn from you, even the JT's. It is the Job of the receiving Sqn to teach the AMM in the process of aircraft engineering via OJT, you should be supporting their progress and satisfying their desires to learn and become like you.
I firmly believe that the product will be far supperior in knowledge and ability than the SAC (T). The amm will have been through a grueling 6month course at Cosford, spent 2 years plus on the line and on trade and then on a 12 month further training course as apposed to a quick 11 month SAC(T) course.
So support these little darlings, If they work hard for you, are enthusiastic and willing to learn then put that tick in the box for a reccomendation for further training and they will be trained further. If you are not happy with them, they are lethargic and economical with effort then DO NOT RECCOMMEND.
But please be assured that, The AMM's during their initial training work a alot harder then any of us did during our training. A lot is expected of them both from a trade perspective and from the perspective of making them an airman. Whne they arrive at your place of work, before you is a person who has worked their nuts (or similiar) off to be before you.
As for the JT who started this thread and all other JT's who read it, your Cpl's and Sgt's are watching you! if all you do is take the **** out of your subordinates and refrain from assisting the less experienced when the need arises, then I would personally deem you unsuitable for advancement. What goes around comes around.
Over and out.
