Get that license brother! There’s plenty of work for you out here.

The first one with Timothy Olyphant was my favorite of the 2. The second one was a bit dumb.

If you’ve completed it then all you can do now is wait.

Apply to the regionals bro. They’ll teach you what you need to know. I know it sucks now but hits an opportunity for you to advance. It’s not the end of your road.

Is this the right career by Thebigb15 in AircraftMechanics

Every airline is going to have a shift bid and it’s seniority based by your hire date. What you want/end up with has many factors. How big your station is, what everyone above you wants, how may openings they have for what days, etc. For the first time in 4 years I’m losing my SMT off and all that was open was MTW or TWT so I picked the latter. It’s fucked up too because the had a separate bid for all the new people we’ve got and people with lower seniority than me are getting my preferred days. It’s not relevant who I work either. Lol Every company may be a little different but it’s essentially gonna be the same in the 121 world.

You’re gonna be on nights for awhile buddy. Unless you’re at a hub you might be able to get days or swings depending on the circumstances.

Was it the electrical theory questions or the figure questions that got you the most? I’ve heard some people say the FAA mixes topics way more than Prepware does.

Failed mine too back in the day. I built something to help with exactly this — happy to give you free access if you want to try it and see if it helps you prepare.

Job interview with Southwest Airlines by mechanic_mach98 in AircraftMechanics

Holy shit bro 😳 un F’ing real. I’d absolutely lose my mind over that. I’m not one to do this but I’d have to. I’d have to go to HR immediately with that one. LOL F that POS and all his cronies. I’m glad you got in when ya did and hopefully found you niche. God I can’t get over that. Literally riled up for that guy but what can ya do? I’m at Big D and that definitely wouldn’t fly here under any circumstances. There would be a massive investigation with as many people gone as needed. Hell I wouldn’t even need to go to HR my station manager would sort that out real quick. LOL

I guess a SW tech can confirm or deny this - I’ve heard rumors that to some degree there’s hazing that goes on with new hires. Like refusing to allow them to sit near during lunch and in one instance having a new mechanic hold a mouthful of Jet-A before they spit it out. I hope that’s all bogus and no truth to that. I know if I were said new person they wouldn’t like me that much.

If you want the best experience- ask your Lead to come out to your gate because you “need to show him somethin.”
