ABSTRACT

AMTs rather than on the teams in which they work. The reasons for this probably stem from the individual licencing process and personal liability, both of which often result in AMTs and their supervisors being less than willing to share their knowledge and to work across shifts with less experienced or less skilled colleagues. The problem is further compounded since the more experienced inspectors and mechanics are retiring and being replaced by a much younger and less experienced workforce. Not only do these new AMTs lack the knowledge or skills of the far more experienced AMTs they are replacing, but they are also not trained to work as a team member.
