Been working aircraft maint. now for 35 years + both on heavy's and general aviation, GA is by far a better work environment then MRO/Airline if you can find a company that pays. If your young, have the aptitude and can pass the physical get into the pilot seat as a pilot! This would be a much better direction to go, Airlines are hiring in droves, get in while you can before the door slams shut.

I worked at a GA company that paid, only because they were about to lose everyone. Then they turned around and said “now you have to earn it”….as if we weren’t already working our butts off. Then stupid decisions persisted daily, I became Chief Inspector only to find they only wanted one in name only and wanted no actual repair station quality procedures implemented. That’s just the beginning of my complaints…moral of my spiel, it isn’t always about pay. If possible, look into how you are treated at the company and what you are willing to do for pay. Moved to corporate for slightly more pay, at a great company who actually treats you well and it’s great. I’m sure GA is great at many places, and it was at the shop I mentioned above until they learned how much money they were losing (so I was told).

I'm not trying to discourage anyone from getting into that business this is just my personal feelings after more than 30 years. It's always good to have something to fall back on though just be aware of what you are getting into with the airline business. It's a true 24/7 365 business there are no weekends or holidays, if it's your day to work you work, unless you are taking vacation, sick, or personal time. You will work many YEARS of third shift and experience exhaustion & fatigue. It is also a very dangerous business and I've seen people killed or maimed for life. There are many dangerous chemicals and other hazards in the work environment doesn't matter if it's the line or hangar, you need to have your head on a swivel at all times. If you work line you will work out in the weather no matter what it is, rain, snow, heat, cold. Random drug and alcohol tests are also required and you will never know when you will be tested.

@WorldsOkayestFarmer Жыл бұрын
Well there are different regulations parts manufactures follow. My company is paid into by most of the major aircraft builders. They want the part suppliers to be accredited by my company to sell parts to them. They are also on our board so they have a hand in it and can see the audit info. Instead of sending their own people to audit all these parts manufacturers we do it and they can see all the information. When we find issues they are all notified especially the ones that do business with that company. We are broken into groups so each part of manufacturing has its own audits and own specialists since most people dont do the entire manufacturing process. I work strictly on the non destructive testing process. Then we have a lot of part time auditors that are mainly retired with many years experience that travel around the world to audit these companies on site and watch them perform the jobs following multiple checklists. Once they pass the audit and fix their discrepancies they get a accreditation for up to two years max before they have to have another audit from us. Just another step that ensures quality in a important manufacturing process.

@WorldsOkayestFarmer Жыл бұрын
Many options are you willing to move? If not what city are you looking at? If you get in at any of the majors or cargo they are paying top dollar normally with a 5 year top out. If you are at a big base with younger guys you can do shift swaps. Most of the industry is going to 4 10hr shifts. Some still do 8hr thats where it is nice to do swaps work 2 doubles and a 8hr shift and you are done. Are chase overtime like I did and make a ton of extra money. Corporate also pays very good but depending on where you go sometimes have to clean and polish the plane when nothing is going on. Also you may have to go to a regional like I worked at to get some experience first. Some guys were there less than a year before going to the majors. Also Nasa and space x could be a good option. There is overhaul contract companies out there but tend to lay off when they get slow. Another cool option would be medivac helicopters. I saw some amt’s by me fixing one in the median of the highway after a accident. I would look at american, united, delta,ups, FedEx, southwest.
