Turbo grief!

[Paul Sharp]

I think a large part of the problem, although I don't like it, is that the mechanics are paid so poorly. None of us wants to be paying more in what is already a fairly expensive activity. But a guy expected to know what they need to know to properly troubleshoot, repair, and work on aircraft - and to take the responsibility required, and the time needed to build experience even in some of these more obvious things - while getting paid under $20 and hour, even after years of experience...well...

I think that part of the overall problem is pretty obvious.
