actually, they graduated from MNRI - mara northrop rice institute
most of ex-mnri, ex-miat currently working in mas, as junior technician

but, they r a few who succeed
2 ex-miat in transmile manage to get lwtr "E" from dca

lol, maybe in this forum only
don't think they gonna anwser like that in exam

u work as an instrutos in AA? avionics?

lol
training school want you and your friends too study more
that's why no more OT for apprentices

about GMR, most of them have basic license (from what i heard)
IMO, most of them don't even know how to do basic task
example, wirelocking, only a few would manage to do it properly
the rest can be considered as study by the book only
but then, that's why GMR send them to MAS, for OJT

management? erm, maybe to cut cost
different people have different views

major work during ot, not all the time laaa
sometimes, the equipment only available during evening
not all people want to hold back their tasks for ot
usually people keep the small tasks for ot

lae, lead engineer, lead engineer operation

bonus depend on company performance
car and housing subsidy, no

free air tickets and rebates, all staffs get it, not just lae
it depends on number of years in service

annual leave, lae usually have more than normal staffs

free stocks, ESOS, yes

about this
"mait students become lae in AA in a shorter period than compare to student who are studying tafe cause mait is approved by malaysian DCA and tafe is not...
"
-should be MIAT not mait
-it doesn't matter whether u from miat/tafe, if u good enough and can pass DCA exam quicker, u are one step closer to become LAE
-as long u meet all the requirements


about MAS TAME
-METC is different from MAS Engineering Training School
-METC is more like a side businees MAS currently doing with Felda
-METC students is NOT STAFF OF MAS, their ID color is purple, same as other contract worker while TAME is staff of MAS
-METC students do not have the same privilage as MAS TAME, they don't get any FOC ticket
-IMO, MAS still taking people for TAME, but i dunno for sure, just wait and read papers

why - for ur info, people from MIAT/APR/etc do not hold any DCA license when they graduated
those people only hold diploma/degree but not LWTR, the most important

save cost - MAS would save a lot if those people have LWTR

outsource - because MAS own TAME program still cannot fulfill their requirement
employment rate also low because MAS want people with LWTR not diploma/degree


i never heard anything about MAS signing contract with MIAT to hire their students
can you show me any links

-----------------------------

from my experience
all miat student who enter MAS/AA, they were hired as JUNIOR TECHNICIAN aka aircraft mechanic

i have never found any miat students who graduated and then enter mas as LAE
while in MAS, those guys study on their own and then sit for DCA exam
when they got their LWTR, they'll submit it to the company
after that, the company will put them under MDP, mechanic development program
in MDP, they will go for various courses
and that's basically how people not from MAS TAME become LAE

IMO, u guys are getting wrong info about MIAT
graduating from MIAT don't guarantee you LWTR
but MIAT will help you to go sit for DCA exam
-special tuition on LWTR (don't know still got or not)
-helping u guys preparing work schedule
-negotiate with DCA

-----------------------
correct me if i'm wrong

agree with u
there a few ex-students of miat currently working in eurocopter
the pay is quite good, better than MAS
but, u need to do all the job avionic/mechanical (as a mechanic)
jack of all trade
but they have different engineer for avionic and mechanical

other aviation company that i know
-spirit aerosystem, subang
-ctrm, malacca
-eagle, malacca
-aero composite, malacca
-HM flying school, langkawi
-MFA, malacca
-??? flying school, kelantan
-airfoil, kota damansara
-transmile, subang
-berjaya, subang
-subang general aviation
-SAE (i don't know their latest status)
-GE, subang
-honeywell, subang
-AAR, subang
-1 company in kedah, making components for boeing
-SME, sg buloh

there's a lot of job opportunities for u
but if u guys targetting LAE only, MAS and AA

employment rate of LAE is not low
but, the amount of people who manage to get LWTR are very low
i don't know the statistics

correct me please


if you have LWTR, MAS/AA would love to employ you even though you have no type rating

other company also require LAE
but not as many as MAS/AA
transmile, flying school, berjaya, eurocopter, MHS, etc
any company that involved in aircraft maintenance

for me, taking LWTR exam need a lot of preparation, commitment, passion and time
it's not like spm
that's why i'm lazy to go for it


LWTR is the passport for you in aviation
i also heard that people who hold LWTR from DCA Malaysia is highly sought in aviation (correction needed)

nope, lol
i'm just a junior tech

EASA is easier
but the cost quite high
around rm350 per exam

DCA is cheaper
but it's very hard to pass

how about u azameel, going for DCA/EASA?

TAME, which batch?
good luck with DCA

as a junior tech, i learned a lot
but, i cannot commit myself for LWTR
lol
not now, maybe later
(i've been saying that for years)

---------------
yesterday, 21-02-2009
there was an aptitude test for tech services engineer in MAS
anyone went for the exam?

plz read back my post #197
MAS would not take the junior tech to join TAME
why would MAS want to waste resources on that
MAS would train those people who manage to get LWTR on their own to become LAE

is it my posts to long, so u just follow tl;dr rule? lol
