Re: Discouraged Aircraft Mechanic

Servicing trains and similar can be very good business. In the DC Metro area find out about working on Building Elevators or Building Automation, both areas combine high tech with high wages and are not far from where you work. Appreciate the heads up JayinKitsap. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Re: Discouraged Aircraft Mechanic

Like others have said, without knowing where you it’s hard to say what jobs would be around you. But being an a&p without experience will limit your choices and your wage at first. But there are jobs around. There are those delta asm jobs, Fedex has been posting mtp jobs externally, both those ...

Re: Discouraged Aircraft Mechanic

I second the fact that you didn't mention where you are wiling to move or are currently located. Part of the issue is, are you looking more for job satisfaction or for pay? Sometimes you don't get both at the same time, and sometimes you never get both. In my case I got my A&P in 2011, and the ...

Re: Discouraged Aircraft Mechanic

You don't mention where you are located and where you are willing to move to. If you wish to work for a major airline get ready to relocate. Keep a good check on all the major airline websites for job opportunities. DL hires off the street quite regularly with minimal experience. Most regional airl...

Re: Discouraged Aircraft Mechanic

It's a tough situation out there. After spending over a year unsuccessfully trying to find a job in maintenance, I tried going for flight dispatch. After not being able to find a job doing that, or anything aviation related, for that matter, I went to truck driving school. I've been driving trucks ...
