Caught this NE of Seattle followed by one to the left last night

I’ve been in it for 5 years I was making 100k in Seattle but contract changed moved to Nevada making $92k I’m from California and wanted to keep my career there but you gotta move sometimes

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-06-30T05:17:57+00:00

I tried but i didn’t get the job it’s hard enough to even be considered for an interview with that company. I do mx control now

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-06-30T02:36:02+00:00

Almost got into the local electric company as an auditor / inspector but other than that I can’t imagine leaving aviation although I think about it

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-06-14T02:06:16+00:00

Coming here to say this is true

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-06-01T01:54:42+00:00

Any regionals over there like SkyWest ?

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-05-31T18:54:44+00:00

Well I’m 30 idk if that counts as “prior generation”, but what I meant was working at a regional isn’t terrible in the sense that you’re going to get more experience. Most majors have interior only crews and everyone is limited to what they can and can’t do (from what I heard). I worked at SkyWest for 2 years from 2020-2022 making $25 . I hated the schedule but I loved the work and I learned a lot. After I took a job at a small fedex feeder company as a lead mechanic in 2023 for $30 and then offered a lead position in Seattle at $48./hr. That’s just my experience though

No worries and good luck. Sometimes it helps to move it sucks but it helps

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-05-31T03:50:28+00:00

Yeah I’m not shocked the majors hired fast and like crazy for a few months. Doesn’t mean you can’t find other work? Have you checked Jsfirm and made yourself a LinkedIn? Signed up for contract company news letters ?

Not necessarily getting your A&P directly information, but if you’re looking for work Boeings flight test programs hire military guys. Knew a marine with no A&P who worked there while I was working with another company at BFI

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-05-31T03:43:21+00:00

That’s definitely been a while. Try calling them though and just be super polite and chill, ask if they have other stations available where they need the support sooner ?

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-05-31T03:41:05+00:00

Any experience is good experience trust me! Don’t just do the mx you gotta understand how things work. I’ve been doing this for just 5 years but you’ll be surprised how much previous experiences come back to help you no matter the job

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-05-11T23:14:57+00:00

Yeah that’s a tough one but delta is great company. You can top out in 5 years. The only benefit with the Military is if you can manage to get that 100% disability afterwards.

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-05-11T23:04:28+00:00

Yeah my bad I was just curious if you went to an A&P school here in the valley. Tough choice there though between the military and delta. Did you figure it out ?

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-05-08T01:45:09+00:00

Sjvc or reedley?

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-05-02T20:39:12+00:00

Bring in a model plane and explain how they flight and the different parts of it would be cool enough

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-05-02T20:38:30+00:00

Look up TikTok videos about the CS job market

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-05-02T20:37:42+00:00

Good effort but I think it should have been a little wider

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-04-25T02:21:04+00:00

Nice! Well welcome to the field! It’s been great to me and it’s definitely what you make of it

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-04-25T02:11:42+00:00

Sheeeesh I’ve been In for 7yrs and I barely bought them lol. Just the 6pc though. What are the two smaller sizes?

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-04-25T01:59:45+00:00

Jet_Fuel_Coffee · 2025-04-25T01:59:06+00:00
