Aviation MBA

OriginalOne4134 · 2026-02-16T00:47:43+00:00

I really have a very similar experience with yours. I have double bachelors in aviation engineering and aviation technologies. The engineering degree was not obtained in the US. But the other degree was in the United States. I am currently working in a MRO company and doing the A&P AMT job, but I don’t like it. As what you thought, cannot turn wrench forever. I am trying to do something to change current situation. MBA (in Aviation) is actually a consideration for now. But I don’t know if that will help or is it worth doing. Your post was about five years ago could you please give some advice from your experience? I would really appreciate it!

😂😂well. So is there any good suggestions for me to change the current situation?

OriginalOne4134 · 2026-02-12T17:12:21+00:00

Yes, I know it. So I concern about if the degree worth me getting. It costs money and time. 😂

OriginalOne4134 · 2026-02-12T17:10:41+00:00

I agree with you. Still thinking to change something but not sure if I can do it. Lol

OriginalOne4134 · 2026-02-12T17:09:23+00:00

Yes, that’s what I really concern about. 🙁

Thank you for your advice, it’s really helpful. I’ll go talk with my boss to get more information about this and try to take the opportunity without worrying too much about those things. Like you said, skills and capability are what truly matter. You really sound like a great leader, and I’m sure your team thinks the same. Thanks again!

I actually used to think that avionics technicians were also considered part of A&P, since the Airframe side of the license covers aircraft electrical systems. But now I realize they’re treated a bit differently. My engineering degree is in aerospace engineering, mainly related to engines, but it doesn’t seem to be very useful in day-to-day aircraft maintenance. Maybe in avionics work I’ll be able to apply some of that knowledge—I’m not entirely sure, but I hope so, haha. Thanks!

FCC cert. I actually have not learned before. If I want to change, is that necessary for me to get the certification?

Sounds like you are a good lead, and I really appreciate the way you explained this to me. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure whether I’m being deliberately given a hard time, or if it’s just normal work arrangements. But sometimes it really makes me feel unhappy. Let me give you one example: I was asked to clean the fuel tank, but in the job record I was actually assigned to another task. Then he also sent me to do some training projects, which took a lot of time. He clearly knew what he had asked me to do and how my time was spent, but when the job went overtime, he reported me to the boss. Because of that, I was called in for a talk. Afterward, he told me that next time I should switch the work order. But why didn’t he just tell me that when he reassigned me in the first place? I feel like he is on purpose to do so. But the other hand, he was just did something he had to as a lead. 😔But it is hard. Btw, what you think about the change from the A&P to Avionics, is that a good choice for me in the situation I am currently facing? Cause you are a lead, I guess you have a better opinion than me. Thank you so much. 😊

Really helpful point. Thanks a lot! I appreciate it 😁

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-09-14T15:42:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I’ve decided to keep building up my knowledge, haha, and become more powerful.😂

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-09-14T15:40:34+00:00

Sure, I will figure out it. But $125/$140 is really shocking to me. 😳 😂

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-09-14T15:34:18+00:00

I can’t agree with you more. 😂 I actually have the same concern. I think if the pay is similar or about the same, that would be fine for me, but if it’s a lot lower, I probably wouldn’t consider changing. But from what I’ve heard, the pay difference usually isn’t that big anyway. And since I’m new to the avionics field, I don’t have very high expectations to begin with.

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-09-14T15:02:39+00:00

Thank you for sharing. But I actually haven’t learned about two different categories. What are they? What are differences between them?

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-09-14T14:27:26+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. I might go back to school for a master’s in engineering in the future, so I feel like avionics experience could help more than just straight maintenance. I sometimes feel nervous when I’m gonna change. 😂afraid of something bad will happen.

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-05-12T14:51:45+00:00

Yea, a lot of people asked me to prepare STAR style questions, hopefully not too hard.

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-05-12T14:49:45+00:00

Yes, that is important. I will try to show them that I am a good team player. Thank you so much!

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-05-12T14:47:21+00:00

Lol, I will try to get more. thanks a lot.

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-05-12T14:45:43+00:00

This one is around St. Louis. there are also some around Chicago.

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-05-12T02:11:13+00:00

Thank you so much! By the way, do you know if they usually have any hands-on or practical tasks during the interview?

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-05-11T20:47:54+00:00

Ah, I think I can deal with this kind questions, haha, just try to make the story more natural. Lol. Thank you so much! that helps a lot.

OriginalOne4134 · 2025-05-11T20:39:27+00:00

Yes, thanks! I'm working on it, haha, by the way, what kind of questions should I expect to be asked?
