How many AMTs does AA have?

[lpbrian]

The most common number thrown out there is 12000. In fact there are far fewer AMTs at AA. The actual number is closer to 6000 including O/H.

So you made a thread asking a question then answered your own question? 
 
You must have had one hell of a Saturday night.

There are approx 7600-7700 title I mechanics at AA. That's about 1800 less than when I left beginning of 2013. 

 

[Overspeed]

About 5,500 AMTs, 825 AMT CC, 450 INSP, and 700 OSMs. 4,100 of those groups work in TUL, AFW, and DWH.
 
7,650 total

A lead man or AMT Crew Chief is a Mechanic or AMT.

Can someone explain the title I thing? Do you guys have title II mechanics? What would be the difference 
 

AMT Crew Chief

So I'm guessing that a Crew Chief is more like a lead? (Ie not a management spot like a foreman) 

 

[iluvaa]

Title 2 is ground maintenence and facility maintenance. And yes a crew chief is a union lead man.

Title 1 are the only ones that fix airplanes.  There were a couple small stations that had a auto mechanic (title 2) that had an A&P - that when called on, would help out.   As for avionics, at class one stations like DFW, ORD, MIA etc. there is a separate avionics group.  At class two cities like: MCO, PHX, SEA etc.  the AMTs do both general and avionics.
