3 Things To Expect and 2 Tips To Get Hired At Your First Aircraft Maintenance Job!

In this Video I’m going to give you a list of three things you can expect at your first aircraft maintenance job as well as two tips on getting hired. As always, this video is based on my personal experience, as well as the experience of some of my good friends, who work in major airlines if you find this information helpful don’t forget to like comment and subscribe. I absolutely love working in aviation and aircraft maintenance. Being a mechanic has earned me a lot of money, and the freedom to live the life that I want to live. There is no better time than right now to start a career in aviation maintenance.

Bryce is 100% correct with everything he said in this video!!! BTW...in addition to keeping the job after you get hired is to SHOW UP ON TIME TO WORK!!! As a matter of fact show up 10-15 minutes early. Quickest way to get fired, is be late, EVEN ONE MINUTE!!! When I was an avionics lead at the MRO I worked at, I enticed my team members to be the earliest tech to work. I would get there at least a half hour early, look at the workload in the control center and then offer the choice of tasks to the first tech to choose what they wanted to do... The last tech to report to me usually got the crappiest task... It paid to be early on my team!!!

[@michelspartini7665]

I liked your way!

[@bigchungus1848]

Luckily I’m an expert at showing up early 😂.

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

I assume they were paid for the time they spent having tasks delegated to them? Before work?

[@Hallahanify]

Do they get to clock in early? If not this is bullshit, sorry.

Hey Bryce, Im 24 years old been working as and auto mechanic since I was 16 and I’m looking to go to school for my A&P and you’re videos Have been very helpful, keep up the good work

[@cdogdeluxe6037]

Very true, the one thing I’ve learned in this industry over the past year is that honesty trumps all other virtues.

[@dkibet]

Hey Bryce.I just graduated from my AMP school.Have applied with lots of companies and all have been denied.Just watched ur video and saw what you said about Keywords in your resume is important, now I know why I was not accepted to one.Imma change my resume then apply again then imma tell you the results.

How did it go

[@aaronperez1238]

What's up Mr Lynch I personally hope I get hired quick for an AIRLINES because of airline mechanic shortages. Great company like SWA or United or even American. I pray and pray I get that opportunity. If not I start at a regional airlines for couple years then transfer to major airlines. I might even start at Standardaero or Pratt and Whitney in West Palm Beach. But anyway can't wait to begin experience and still putting in applications. Well great video Lynch great advice and be safe out there.

[@brycebuildsit]

Good luck man.

[@joaoj1593]

Experience always is better then school work! I am trying to transition from auto mechanic work to aviation and this was really helpful thank you Bryce love from South Florida ❤

[@LOsProductionC]

Its worth it trust me...go for it. Am looking for a job now. The school that i went to Aviator College was great. The school part its not hard, but the exam to get the Airframe and Powerplant license is challenging.

[@johnnnyboo7105]

Got 21 years of experience in aviation and trust me, most companies don’t give a care if i had that under my belt. They wanted schooling

[@ThatReconDad]

Going to AIM once I get out the military next year. Leaving with my secret clearance hopefully that can help in some way with finding a job. Thanks for the video

[@brycebuildsit]

A secret clearance will definitely help. Good luck with everything. If you worked aviation in the military you can apply for practical experience and test without having to go to a 147.

[@ThatReconDad]

Didn’t do anything with aviation in the Military I’m infantry. But super excited for the career change. Will be watching more of your videos 🤝🏾

[@RauldelP]

Thanks again for an informative video! Starting A&P school proper on Friday! Here’s hoping the demand keeps up until I get out there 👍 And you, keep doing what you’re doing!

[@brycebuildsit]

It will, many guys retiring rn

[@elijahx2784]

Thanks man this was super helpful. Im taking my powerplant O&P tomorrow morning, im so excited to finally start working

[@brycebuildsit]

Good luck.

What you studying for your orals ?

[@bassfitness9306]

Hey man! I hope the O&P went well! Would love to get some information on how the test went and what you used to study because I got my test coming up next week!!

[@elijahx2784]

@@bassfitness9306 Since i got an 86 on the written, i got about 40 questions on the oral test. I was very surprised to see that only like 10 questions were from jeppesen. I studied both ASA and Jeppessen. Those other 30 questions were neither, ngl i got really lucky i made some lucky guesses and passed. I recommend you call around and try to find that new ACS question database asap. Though you might get lucky and get all jeppessen questions like my friend did. but Good luck man

[@kingwf5]

Man so I really did get the short end of the stick when I started out. Everyone was very rude to me, constant yelling. Expecting me to be a seasoned vet straight out of school, not helpful, and trusting me with stuff that really shouldn't be given to me mechanics. Here hoping I can find some place that will actually care about letting me grow.

[@brycebuildsit]

I'm not gonna lie. There are some places that are just toxic and garbage to work for.

[@mikeH260]

I've never once gotten an aircraft class before working on an aircraft. It was usually several months to years after I had been working on that aircraft and that was not only at a regional airline but also a major airline. Not everybody at the places I've worked have been that helpful. Some people are only trying to make a better name for themselves. I know someone that went to work at Southwest and he said they roast you and give you the crap jobs like constantly cleaning up the shop. They try to break you down for at least the first six months.

Hey man! Congratulations!! How was your O&P?? Would love to hear some feedback because I got mine coming up next week!!

[@bigchungus1848]

@@bassfitness9306 it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Most of the oral questions that I got were from the Asa/jeppesen books in the back section where the oral questions are. As for the practicals, as long as you have the procedures out in front of you and follow them for the project you will be fine. You can also fail practicals and still pass if you correctly complete 70% of the practical projects. I would still try to compete all of the projects correctly though if you can.

[@timdehoogh8441]

or work for an airline that has AP Mechanic training program that they would offer you a job

[@FlylikeTy_]

The sad part about Boeing is that there’s no in depth training on the 737 or any aircraft they have. The “training” you get is just a certification to do various tasks like sealing, doing electrical work, etc. They don’t care if you’re faa certified. But I don’t know anything and I’m just speculating. The benefits are great though.

[@MrWilbur63]

What Boeing u work @

[@RANTHEPLUG]

Just got my a&p 2 weeks ago worked on ramp with United and am waitlisted as they have no openings at the moment. Do I just wait or begin to work to gain experience.

[@brycebuildsit]

If you are willing to move, I'd see if they have openings at other airports. I also wouldn't turn away from other airlines if majors are where you want to be

[@thumpertorque_]

What's the pay range for a beginner these days? And how much can I expect after some experience?

[@brycebuildsit]

Major airlines are still starting at around 30 an hour, and places like standard aero are around the 25 mark.
