Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer in Malaysia

I found this post from other person's blog. I just share it here... (Amirul's Blogspot)

Many peoples are wondering about aircraft engineer salary. I must say that pay is quiet reasonable.

Take for example, I know a large number of Malaysia Airlines staff are drawing about RM20,000 per month working as a licensed aircraft engineers at MAS’s hanger.

Last week I received a call from an old friend from MAS, he was working for MHS, or Malaysian Helicopter services. He was drawing RM17,000 from his work at the company servicing the oil rigs of the course on Malaysia.

You may be wondering how come the aircraft engineer salary is high. This is how it can be..

Basic Salary ————– RM 7,000

Technical allowance …    RM1,200

Productivity allowance  RM1,000

License Allowance            RM 3,000

Holiday Pay                         RM 2,000

Overtime                              RM3,000

Total  RM17,200

Yes, it is possible. License allowance is given for additional license you hold. If you have B737 airframe, the company pay RM500.  As you work longer, you will accumulate more license. There are many of the staff who have more than RM3,000 for his license allowance alone.

The holiday pay is when you work on public holidays. You will be paid 3 times your normal rate. This is how it is calculated..

Your monthly salary + allowable allowance — e.g RM 9000

divide by working day per month e.g 20

Then your daily rate is RM 450.

When you work on public holiday= 3 time pay.

The you will be pais RM450x3 = RM1350

In Malaysia you will find so much of public holiday. That is one of the reason why the aircraft engineer salary is high.
