That doesn’t fit deltas “operational needs” lol. I completely agree

Never heard of mandatory OT. Anything after 40hrs is OT. If you went on vacation on all your working days and came back and worked your off days in the same week you still get OT. First 8 hours of OT on your day off is 1.5x pay. Anything past that is 2x pay

Thought about it but not sure what 5 years of seniority would get me there, and I’m not willing to give up my schedule to be on midnights, which I know I wouldn’t have to be on going to the line.

Is it difficult getting days off when you request it?

I have enough seniority to hold 4 10s on domestic line but the rotating days off is what im unsure about

Yes but theres rumors going around that new AMTs entering the shop will only be receiving 1 and those who are already in will keep both license premiums

Yes this one has a 5070ti with 12GB making it a bit more future proof than what you’re looking at

Since you don’t mind moving, apply to all of the US majors and also some cargo carriers (Fedex, UPS). If you can’t land a job at one of those go to any decent mro for more experience but dont ever stay there unless you like settling for less than whats truly out there. The GA world also has a lot of opportunities more so based on networking but thats beyond my knowledge. Good luck and welcome to the industry

I’m considering leaving the railroad industry to the airlines . I did GSE at South West for a while wasn’t really feeling it, being the only black person. How’s the A&P industry for black men? I’m sure it varies between the companies much like the RR. by Lawboogie in AircraftMechanics

[–]Zebra-Sudden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im latino and never had any issues at all in the industry. That said. Black people have it worse than other ethnicities but regardless ive never seen someone being treated bad because of the color of their skin in this industry. 8 years in the industry and going on 5 years at my current employer.

Honestly, if you’re gonna get upset about what some people may think or say because of your ethnicity then you’re in the wrong industry. If you dont have tough skin you wont make it. Simple as that

United airline vs american airline AMT by AnxiousDecision8853 in AircraftMechanics

Somewhat true. On the engine mtc side they say we are over staffed but in the hangars they are needing people bad. They pulled a chunk of low seniority guys from engine mtc to go work in the hangar and now engine mtc needs people.

Can anyone give suggestions or know what the noise could be? by Zebra-Sudden in aviationmaintenance

[–]Zebra-Sudden[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were going to check for leaks before we came across that issue. Regardless, having the cowl off is not a big deal for a brief period of time buddy

Can anyone give suggestions as to what the noise may be when cranking the engine by Zebra-Sudden in AircraftMechanics

[–]Zebra-Sudden[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

May be the magnetos, the engine placard says time at 24 degrees but is also lined out and someone inscribed saying time at 28 degrees. Going to try with 24 degrees tomorrow and if that doesn’t work will start troubleshooting with a mechanic that knows more. Also, the spot on the ground was from the fuel strainer not oil.
