In closing, I would like to remind you that your odds of winning one of the 20 prizes listed above are better than any odds for a state lottery. But like a state lottery you have to participate in the AMT program in order to be eligible to win. It is not very hard to participate. Upon earning one of five AMT awards the FAA inspector will submit your AMT application to the AMT awards committee. Your application will then be added to the others and put in the big drum for the drawing at the PAMA convention in May of 2005. But even if you do not win a prize you do win! You got yourself some maintenance training and training like that is like having money in the bank. Now that you’ve been reminded, does anybody have a tissue?
