Eagle services asia and siaec has the same union yet our payscale are different. Basic are different but allowance are way higher. As a LAE if you join the company, you can negotiate for a higher basic salary. E.g if you basic is 3.5k, with approval it will be Close to 5k. I can safely say with ot, you will reach close to 8-9k. Sadly I have move to AO grade and towards the management path. But it terms of payscale, this is the best job for engineers in this sector. I have few LAE friends decide to switch from siaec to esa. Paper wise, you need to retake M15 gas turbines.

Hi your from siaec for esa?

Hi. I formerly from siaec. Currently in ESA.

Anyone tried applying ST AERO or BOMBARDIER LAE Trainee programme this year? How much are they offering you?

Don't bother. 1.8k to 2.3k for a start. At the end of your
traineeship, you not necessarily get the license. It depends on availability. Worst, you end up becoming or a technician or assistant engineer

Continuing from this post, IIRC it was around 2.3k to 3k (up by $500 from the original payscale) (Still lower or same as your technicians' basic pay). People need to understand that mros are having a hard time finding hands and legs on the ground, yeah the Pinoys and Chinese are going to places which pays well, the leftovers have no choice as they either brought their family here or probably sign some bond with their agency. So how do they fill the gap? By hiring you guys, withholding your whatever interviews, license approval and etc. so that you can work as hands and legs. If you like hands-on job, welcome! Else think again.

I do not know about siaec as they used to have a strong line of trainee technicians to work as hands and legs. Maybe someone can commend about the current situation there.

There are no more intake for LAE training program for SIAEC. The only path to be LAE in SIAEC is via the SIT Aircraft System Engineering

Im a guy who graduated Local U at 25yo.
Joined SIAEC as an APPRENTICE.
$2500 flat for 4 years.

Passed out as LAE 29yo.
$3300 monthly.
(Basic $2620, the rest are allowances)
(Any bonus would be based on basic salary)

5 years bond ending, 34yo, with children now.
$4300 (basic 2.9, plus more aircraft type licences)
Last 5 years only receive 0.84 month of bonus only.
Increment only gave for 2 yrs.
(Increment and bonuses have been frozen fyi)

Highly not recommended.
