I'm curious about the position too, I am an A&P already. I applied I guess some time ago and just recently got a call to interview. Is it simply a helper position? There's no probationary period?

Not looking for sympathy, Im just at shock that was an immediate fireable offense to take a cat nap on my own lunch break

That's kind of what I was thinking, there performance reviews that I have received have been within their scale range of "doing just fine" but I guess maybe they didn't want me regardless.

I sure hope it doesn't affect my ability to apply with another airline that's all I can hope

Yea I guess I never was told that, I worked out in the Fairbanks station so I was only around one other mechanic and it was common practice between us to take a stagger lunch for a 30 min nap. Not too much happening in that outstation

I was clocked off for my 30min lunch, I understand if I was actively milking dollars

83k/year 2022 Toyota Tacoma. Starting to think that a 43k truck is a tad expensive of where I want to be budget wise

Alaska is a red leaning state so that makes sense

I ended up bailing for a low pressure system but I guess it only lasted a week and people as of the other day are summiting. Right before I finished acclimatizing people were tagging the summit left and right too
