• Want More ofWritten Comments
• Supply the membership with a good looking plastic
  membership card that lasts more than a month!
• Listen
• More current information to keep me current on
  everything
• Get Transport Canada out of my wallet quit
  making foolish regulations that limit my ability
  to make a living

Members Survey ResultsWritten Comments

• Should the AME Association not be a national
  association to have a bigger and stronger voice
  to Industry and Government
• I believe the AME Association should provide more
  training seminars throughout the year. Also I
  believe its time that we form a larger
  organization by either combining the other AME
  Associations to one. This would provide us more
  visibility within the A/C community. At least we
  should have once a year a National AME Conference
  just like our friends in the USA. Other than
  this I believe the Association is doing a great
  job
• Keep up the good work!
• If appropriate, establish an AME ASSOCATION OF
  ONTARIO RETIREES CHAPTER (NO Im not looking
  for a job!). Keep up the good work

• Make better use of your website I.e., forums,
  polls etc. Then let the membership plot the
  course of the association
• The Air Maint. Update mag is very useful. Keep
  it coming with more avionics and engine articles
  (both turbine and especially piston)
• Keep up the good work!
• Not enough apprentices and junior AMEs are
  joining the association. When asked, their reply
  always includes the fact that they feel 50.00 /
  year is too high for annual fees. Could we
  perhaps introduce a special introductory offer.
  Another comment I hear quite often is that they
  dont see what impact the AME Association or CAMC
  has on their daily work related tasks therefore
  why support them? Im sure better exposure at
  the college level would be a step in the right
  direction

• We have a voice with Transport Canada but TC only
  hear what they want to. We have lost a lot of
  privileges over the last 20 years. The
  Association members are not consulted properly
  before CARAC meetings especially when it involves
  licensing issues
• Mailing a reference to any new CAR that may
  affect us on a quarterly basis. Notification on
  any CARAC meeting that may affect us. We need to
  be advised before its made a regulation, not
  after. I.e., human factors, duty time etc
• Let me start with the fact that I appreciate the
  difficult job the AME association has. I think
  the best thing the AME association can do for me
  is keep me informed on what is going on at
  Transport Canada. The size and location of my
  company gives me a feeling of isolation. I find
  it is one thing to read regulations (or any
  information), but another to understand the
  intent. Thanks
