Aircraft Mechanic

Hello sir, do you think super sonic commercial fights will ever return?

Asked by Mikey about 6 years ago

sure. Maybe

Why do you get so mad at people asking legitimate questions? It says Ask Me Anything doesn’t it

Asked by Woah over 5 years ago

Because this is not a literal Ask Me Anything, is it?

This is “ask me anything about my job”.

There is a difference.

I answer questions here pertaining to my job, which is a licensed aircraft technician and inspector.

I’m not here to debate Boeing corporate policy regarding executive bonuses; or airline passenger mask policies, and I’m definitely not here to troubleshoot your cousin’s Cessna 150 that won’t start.

So when I say to people, do you have a job related question to ask me? I’m trying to get people to focus on the intent of this Q&A.

What do you think of this video? https://youtu.be/wP5gSGSEYMw

Asked by Mike over 5 years ago

I don't see the actual inciting incident in question on the video. So I guess I have no opinion.

Please keep your questions in the realm of aircraft mechanic related career questions.

Do you think it was wrong to kick that guy off a plane for simply asking a flight attendant to put her mask on?

I don’t know the details of this situation, therefore I have no opinion on it.

This Q&A is not here to critique airline policies.

I recently got my first DUI, with zero priors and am in an FAA certified school going for my Airframe license next month. How would this affect geting my A&P licenses and finding work after for a commercial airline? Thank you.

It should not effect getting your A&P. Lots of licensed mechs running around (literally, because their drivers license has been revoked) with DUIs and such. I have worked with many mechs like that.

As far as getting jobs; that’s up to the company and their policies. Usually, in order to drive around ground vehicles and such, they want you to have a valid drivers license.

But, you’ll have to inquire with people from whichever company you are applying to. Maybe they’ll know what policy is there.

I know my company would hire you.

In your opinion, whitch aircraft navigation method would airlines pick if they had one choice: Barometric(pressure) altimeters or Radio(VORTAC)

Hi Fred. Im in mechanic school right now and Im hoping to find a job where I work alone. What aircraft mechanic jobs with my A&P can I get that I work alone for the most part?
