However, like Pacman said, They are very hard to get on with. I have heard from sources that UPS will be starting their junior mechanic program again for employees. Having a part-time job there may help on that end (Unlike pilots, UPS has a history of hiring mechanics from within). So that is one idea.Personally I'd rather talk to or fly the planes than work on them. I do not miss Skydrol, Mobil Jet II, Jet A, or any of the other nasty materials you have to work with one bit. It was fun, but honestly if I have the choice, I will never go back. You are not paid enough to deal with the things you have to deal with. |
Thats an interesting overview. It wasnt too long ago you mentioned in another thread how you thought the pay was fair after my comments about how pathetic starting pay is for A&Ps. Are ya sure you dont wanna play with some more 'blue-water'?
