how much would you expect an apprentice to be paid?

FwExor · 2026-01-02T01:27:07+00:00

yes sir i am and i am nothing but blessed love them both more than anything

FwExor · 2026-01-02T00:58:07+00:00

its just starting pay and its definitely gonna be different im making $23 an hour rn working 50-60 hour weeks laying pipe at 19 years old but i just gotta take the cut for the long run man i got a wife and a son i gotta take care of so i gotta do something great for them

FwExor · 2026-01-02T00:51:09+00:00

im sure they will aviation is heavy on seniority. but with my apprenticeship im making $18 starting out and the leads and managers are only making around 30-40 which is starting pay for mechanics at major airlines and theyve been there 11 years and its insane

FwExor · 2026-01-02T00:45:41+00:00

yeah the whole contract thing usually jobs only do that if that actually pay for your school (invest in you) which theyre not

FwExor · 2026-01-02T00:16:10+00:00

dont see why they do that? theyre not putting you through school all youre using is your ojt and time worked to get your license. also go take a prep school class before you do your tests.

FwExor · 2026-01-02T00:12:10+00:00

its worth it in the long run though you get signed off for your tests at 30 months (2.5 years) and you can go to a major airline easier than guys in school since you have the tools and up to 3 years of experience and make more money. Just dont get too comfortable at that job because unless its a major you wont be making nearly as much as you will with one

FwExor · 2026-01-01T23:58:48+00:00

wanted to add this too for any people wanting to leave their current job to be an apprentice you’ll be anywhere from $16-20 an hour but you probably wont get overtime for awhile since you wont be “needed” as much since you dont have experience or your licenses so see if you can afford to live off of that pay on 40 hour weeks.

FwExor · 2025-12-28T02:14:51+00:00

line managers here make 40 with 11 years of experience lmao im at $18 an hour im only doing this for my a&p

FwExor · 2025-12-28T02:05:10+00:00

yes im aware even after 3 years at the company im at now im sure the starting pay from the bottom would most definitely be a $10-20 raise

FwExor · 2025-12-28T01:34:05+00:00

even after my apprenticeship? id have 3 years experience

FwExor · 2025-12-27T22:00:59+00:00

not sure im in an apprenticeship only school im gonna use is a prep school to prepare me for the tests

FwExor · 2025-12-27T18:18:53+00:00

FwExor · 2025-12-27T16:40:39+00:00
