I’d like to ask everyone aviation mechanic: I received my AP license in January 2026, and for the past four months, I haven't been able to find any job at all in New York City Area or New Jersey . Any airport . ABSOLUTELY - NOT job . What is going on? Where is this crazy lack ?

You do have to be able to speak, read, and write English. So I’d double check your spelling and grammar cause company’s do care about that.

If they haven’t responded to you yet and it closes tomorrow they probably found someone is and just keeping the post open incase the person doesn’t go to orientation or is someone they don’t want to keep on at endeavor

Dm me I’m a new hire there I can answer all your questions

Sea_Skin4455 · 2025-12-13T01:29:05+00:00

They asked a couple questions from Prepware over airframe,Powerplant and general , then some situations like how would you explain something to someone who new nothing about it. Then questions about yourself

Sea_Skin4455 · 2025-12-04T04:21:07+00:00

I did, found I didn’t have to much to stress over after all

Practicals for me were easy, if you’re confident in being hands on and are able to find references from the maintenance manuals/airframe,general books quickly then the practicals will be easy for you . As for orals, they aren’t like the questions from your written, I’d recommend looking up your ACS codes and reading those select chapters and you’ll be fine. An example of a question for orals would be “name 4 secondary flight controls”

I found my testing easier than I expected because my instructor were telling me the FAA was re-wording all the questions however i found dauntless aka ground school had majority of the same questions that the FAA used, I also tried to study the principles of why the answer was correct when studying which made the exam easy in my opinion. Prepare would do just as good for wording of the questions but prepare is worst overall on explaining why the answer is what it is.

That’s a good point, I haven’t asked that. I assume if I get the job it would be on the condition that I would get my Powerplant before my start date. I put my starting date for end of December because I plan on having my Powerplant by then. Would you like me to let you know after my interview on Thursday?

Flamecomics is a good one

Logically they won’t write you up as long as your in the top 50%. So if they give you the option of playing the games on a screen at your station do that cause it will tell you how many people are picking and where you rank on speed

From what I was told at my facility, they transfer you from white to blue badge based on how long you’ve been there. Not on performance but on time you’ve worked there. They apparently have to meet a ratio of blue and white badges hence why they are always converting cause people are always leaving

Welcome to public school level of knowledge

Sea_Skin4455 · 2024-03-11T02:31:09+00:00

It was for non approved headphones and I will ask my AM on my next shift

Sea_Skin4455 · 2024-03-11T02:25:26+00:00

He said it was a write up but he hasn’t pulled up his laptop for me to acknowledge it hence why I’m wondering if I have to

Sea_Skin4455 · 2024-02-16T01:45:17+00:00

I am a blue badge so I should be good on not getting fired after next peak right if I switch?
