I have a question:

Automobile mechanics make fifty some odd dollars an hour, flat rate.

FAA/PMA certified mechanics make slightly more than half of that.


An auto repair shop tech gets a repair order. He surveys the job. The faster he works the more money he makes. Bolts get stripped or forgotten, he has no clue as to how to go about troubleshooting so he invents some weird problem so he gets paid normal wage.

I had to be FAA/PMA certified to work on aircraft charging, starting and electrical. In that area there is (or was) -zero- latitude for incompetence.

Celso, the local mechanico shakes his head when i tell him stuff like this.

"The Americanos, they must have too much money".

You can make the exact same comparison for Doctors/Lawyers, any occupation that the customer has NO clue as to what is wrong or needs to be done. I will state that the RVIA Certification process has MORE incompetent Technicians than you can shake a stick at. The criteria for passing basic RV certification and the Master Certification is a JOKE. I have interviewed and met so many unqualified Master Certified RV Technicians and as a Master myself, I think the RVIA should just quit selling the program. Doug
