AMP Wins

[Ken MacTiernan]

An assembled team of 5 AMTs representing AMP took 1st Place in the AMTSociety's 4th Annual Maintenance Skills Competition in Las Vegas, NV on February 25th in the MRO/OEM Category. Great job AMP! Snap-On provided tools for all the participants and more tools for those who took 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place in each of the 5 categories to be competed in. AMP's overall final score not only gave them 1st Place in the MRO/OEM Category but matched their time in overall third place from among the 26 teams that competed this year. (No, AA did not field any teams this year.)

From those of us that are proud of our profession, congratulations. It's not only shameful for the compAAny to not send a team to represent the craft, but a supposed "Best Workers In The World" union to not even recognize or send it's representatives to the competition.

I wonder who the competition was?

I wonder who the competition was?

Good question, but consider this. Lets say the competition was "SMA's from some MRO facility" and the task was to demonstrate an engine oil change and this disqualified the SMA's so AMP won by default....

I wonder who the competition was?

Well AMP was first Boeing was second and a MRO from mexico was third in the MRO group

Out of 26 teams from all categories

1 Southwest 2 44 min

2 Australian National Union 3 45 min

3 AMP 3 48 min

There were teams from the Navy and Air Force 2 Teams from Fed Ex 1 from UPS Alaska Airlines Local 565 DFW China to name a few. To all the nay sayers you missed a good time and if you think you can do better there's another comp next March step up.

So the competition for the AMP was an OEM who builds aircraft one at a time and an MRO group from Mexico outside the jurisdiction of the FAA who's employment standards would most likely fall short from like AMT work here in the states which would not qualify them as candidates to secure a safety sensitive position mandated and policed by the FAA...

"WOW AMP", I'm impressed.....
