Come on Bob? The FAA? I don’t ever recall seeing the acronym AMT in any FAR publications, bulletins or seminars. Do tell me where I can go to read that.

I believe that the change was to gain a more professional outlook from the public.PlayTheOdds said:
The public associates the term "mechanic" as a grease monkey. Would'nt you agree? 🙁

"The Flight Standards Aircraft Maintenance Division , (AFS-300), Washington , D.C. , determined in October 1991 that a need exists for an incentive program to encourage AMT employees and employers to aggressively participate in available initial and recurrent maintenance training/courses. This incentive program is called the AMT Awards Program. The FAA will recognize eligible technicians and employers who receive or foster initial and recurrent training by issuing awards. "
TECHNICIAN AWARD ELIGIBILITY . The following individuals are eligible for the technician's award:
An FAA-certificated mechanic or repairman (technician) in general aviation or air carrier maintenance working on FAA type-certificated, U.S.-registered aircraft.
A student in a Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 147 school who is maintaining a course average of C or better. The student must receive training outside of his/her regular school schedule.
FAR Part 147 school instructors are eligible for the Certificate of Training awards if the instruction given was outside of their duties in the Part 147 school;
Noncertificated mechanics and technicians working full-time on aircraft or component parts for FAR Parts 121, 135, and 145 operators. (Example: An avionics, instrument, or propeller technician working on FAR Part 121, 135, or 145 is eligible.)
"Mechanic" suits me just fine.

That is indeed on a FAA document but it reads like the FAA accepted the title rather than created it. Where did the title originate? I agree mechanic suits just fine. It appears to me that some people simply want to reinvent themselves.

PTO....You asked for proof that the FAA used the acronym AMT. That was provided for you, then you make up some bull about why it was there. I seem to notice not only are you a SCAB but you also have trouble admitting when your wrong and its obviously proven your wrong.
Is this a common trait of a scum SCAB or is it something you have spent years learning? You have already proven yourself to be a coward so i shouldnt be surprised to see that you cant admit when your wrong either.
I guess its a good thing you dont have to sign off the work you do, at least then you wouldnt be forced to lie under oath when your being questioned as to why your maintenance was substandard. Now you can just say with a clear conscience that my name isnt on it so obviously i didnt do the work.

Bob, I'm just interested in where the term came from.

Ironic that the same non-certificated mechanics and technicians you despise are included under this "definition" of an AMT.
Hate to agree with PTO on anything, but in this case, it looks like this was written by some PR hack who doesn't know the difference between an unlicensed techician at a MRO and someone with an A&P.
By the way, here's today's numbers from the Big Red Machine as of 09/29/05 @1950Z...
MEL Count- 356
A.O.S. 21
15 flights cancelled (13 due to "tech ops" 2 due to "flight ops.")
On time 58%.
Just remember what PTO says when reviewing the previous stats. "We are doing a great job, everything is running smoothly, ontime is high" and dont forget NW's newest mantra..."everything is normal" or "its not related to the mechnics strike"
If you cant contribute A.O.S. or flights cancelled due to tech ops to maintenance what is the reason? Has NW changed that much since i worked there that maintenance issues are no longer really maintenance issues? Maybe they have reclassified everything as Andy Roberts issues instead.
Keep up the good work PTO, your helping AMFA's cause whether you want to or not. Maybe in your spare time hiding in protective custody you can build a new airplane out of "raw stock". Unless you meant your art was building birdhouses out of raw stock which is something more believeable PTO.

Chas I think the MEL report is actually 290 but I also like to see the 356 becase it is still below the AMFA AMT's average of 460.

No just what I have been told at work by my "MAP" ( I still haven't figured that one out.) He has been with Northwest for twelve years so I would think that he would know. He has a friend on tha picket line that meets us for breakfast every now and then. Those two are really funny.
PlayTheOdds said:
PTO...once again you've shown your ignorance. The MEL count was well below 200 when AMFA was doing the maintenance. I have come to realize a pattern to your excuses, its always someone told me never any hard evidence. Just like the other thread here, keep telling yourself the same thing over and over and maybe it will be true.
Your now excused for the day little one, run along.

chas I have never seen you post one piece of hard evidence here. My evidence is my past record of which every predicted event has occured.
