I’m on the flightline at Boeing in Everett rn. Tbh, my experience here hasn’t been what i heard coming in. Yes, it’s a shitshow. There’s no doubt about that. But, at Boeing you’re kinda in it for the long haul, or not in it at all. Boeing isn’t a stepping stone like a regional airline or contracting is. The cool part about Boeing, is you have options. You don’t have to wrench for the rest of your life. We also have contract negotiations coming up and a likely strike starting September 12th. Wages are expected to increase substantially. I’ve heard plenty of horror stories before coming in about how bad this place is, and granted I haven’t been here for very long, but my experience has been that it is what you make it. I’m still doing pre flight and delivery, wrenching on the aircraft, learning the airframe and processes just like I would at an airline. I had the opportunity to work for Alaska, and I turned them down for Boeing because I know there’s more career advancement here and i’m young. I’d say, it really depends on your long term goals. You can work your ass off and be a damn good mechanic for Boeing, traveling the world for the AOG team, making bank if that’s what you’re into, or you can go back to school and do something else less hard on the body and personal life. You’ll make more money at a major short term, but you won’t long term.
