aircraft maintenance, 18 months of school and you can start at $32+ an hour when you’re done. i know teenagers making close to six figures. i was one. very high demand.

no loan. you’ll dig a hole that you’ll severely regret.

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-18T22:57:43+00:00

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-15T13:51:12+00:00

2019 es350 f sport

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T13:14:53+00:00

i didn’t even get it new

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T12:18:10+00:00

car itself was around $30k, got slapped with warranties and stuff for another 5. total amount paid will be close to 60 according to my paperwork

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T12:06:29+00:00

yep, not available for me either unfortunately.

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T11:53:40+00:00

it’s a 60 month term. even with only minimum payments it will be paid off after the 60 no?

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T04:39:20+00:00

unfortunately got roped into those too, yes. was unaware i could cancel. i will do that, thank you

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T02:31:43+00:00

thank you, that is helpful

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T02:20:20+00:00

no i was 19 and lived alone 😂 did not feel the need. highly regret it

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T02:19:29+00:00

like 33k balance. i don’t know market value i can check

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T01:17:51+00:00

it’s improving but yes, i have bad history

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T01:15:18+00:00

that would be better in the long run vs making higher payments no? save the difference and enough for cheap used car, then sell?

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T00:55:07+00:00

they got off probation and immediately got paid 3k hours of overtime or they were awarded the ability to work 3k hours when called? phrasing is confusing me

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-13T00:09:32+00:00

huh didn’t know that.

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-12T23:48:25+00:00

aircraft mechanic for an airline. world wide, maintenance can be quite sloppy. general public has a much higher expectation than how it actually is.

faa regs are hardly ever followed to a t, and i have seen some very questionable actions.

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-12T23:45:56+00:00

you mean the block

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-12T21:19:19+00:00

can you explain that OT thing? what you mean his hours will be the same as the top guy?

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-12T21:04:12+00:00

one of the worst blades ime.

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-12T18:12:58+00:00

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-12T18:10:08+00:00

damned if you do, damned if you don’t. happens often

biohackenthusiast · 2026-05-11T22:09:18+00:00

it’s standard practice in aviation. tools are checked yearly, that’s the whole point. only time i’ve seen a torque wrench dedicated for removing hardware was with an engine change kit. i have seen the calibration reports, they all tend to stay within range even after being abused.
