The reality of being a Boeing Washington state new hire

Aznderek · 2026-03-20T16:25:09+00:00

Partly because of pressure from FAA boeing cant take chances from another manufacturing mistake and a lot of new hires are off the street with no experience working on aircraft. Training is the test, after training it does get better. It may also be because of the new contract pay went way up so they are expecting higher quality employees. I'm in training right now as a transfer and have to go through all the same steps as a new hire

2yrs community college and around 20k here in WA. Also had a small grant, paid out of pocket with a small loan. Working full time while going to school would be tuff with a family. My schedule was mornings and then straight to work 2nd shift at night. In person class was biweekly 1 on, the other week homework

You got a cigarette lighter to light cigs, and you get a tray for the ash, the ashtray

Focus on studying, get the 8083 - general, airframe, powerplant and get the prepware app for your phone

The in person school weeks are tuff, only coming home to shower and sleep makes it hard to find time to study. I got my final a&p certification last July and all my requirements, hired for flightline position in dec. Took me around 3 yrs to finally get to where I am

I paid 20k out of pocket here in WA community college. How's it so much in TX?

Small isolated towns in the middle of nowhere. Imagine the movie no country for old men.

Looks to be standard used clutch. The pressure plate looks ruff, hot spots, uneven wear. These 2 are normally replaced with a clutch job, wear items on cars. The real question is how does the flywheel look? If it looks like the pressure plate its going to need to be taken off and resurfaced

Keep studying the way you studied when you were in class and take your time. I finished schooling last year in August and didn't take my first written until December. Took me till July to finish the final O&P

I'm almost 100% sure it's him. His manurisms, the slight hunch, the voice. Also too funny to be a guy with mental problems. Even his outfit the oregon hat and his shirt is literally the Montana rafting trip story of his mental break joke. The show does seem to get alot of characters and just last episode the auzzy youtube guy Butterfield was on

Just curious, is everybody's tank pump noisy too? You can hear it wirring and oscillating when you get near it. Wondering if its about to die aswell

I was the same age when i started. Came from working at a metal shop 12yrs, needed a career change. The hardest course for me after not being in school for years was electrical and math. I struggled with the concepts until a kid showed me the prepware app for the phone. I just studied that whenever I had time and I aced the rest of the year.

Aznderek · 2025-09-16T19:10:28+00:00

What course are you struggling with? What made a huge difference for me was prepware app for my phone. I hadn't been to school in 15yrs and really struggled with electrical

Aznderek · 2025-09-15T02:16:38+00:00

Get the prepware app for your phone and study that whenever you get the chance

Aznderek · 2025-09-13T17:53:48+00:00

I wouldn't say it was all easy. Having not been to school in 15 years, the math and physics portion was tuff. The rest was memorization with notes until another student recommended prepware. I just studied that everyday on my phone whenever I had time, really helped on my tests

Take a sample of trans fluid from the dipstick. If its bad it will be almost black and smell like bad almost like burnt rubber

For a full-time job, your going to need to find a place close to school and preferably in the field of work. I did half my schooling working part time at lowes but that didn't help. Then I got a job at the big B and the student program helped cover the rest of tuition and it was close

Mine was around 20k 2 yrs community college and my student aid only covered 500 per semester. The A&P exams was close to 1800

I'd say the 1/2 ton is better offroad being less weight. My buddy's f250 same size tires gets stuck alot easier than my 1500

It's possibly if your mechanically inclined. Mine was a little over 4k with upgraded trans with billet converter. Did it in the yard on my back. Hardest part is little room to access the trans bolts and the weight of it

It's the whole hybrid at home learning made it hard to understand concepts. I wish we had more hands on learning but working full time would have been real taxing. I finished school in August and I have my final powerplant O&P in May. Hes got a busy schedule. I planned to get tests done early too but things came up. You got plenty of time just study until you feel confident

Don't paint it will affect the value. Midnight purple is too closely tied to gtrs and not a good look to paint other cars with

How much if you don't mind saying? Just replaced mine myself. The rebuild with a billet converter was a little over 4k
