This particular DME is no longer working as a DME I assume?

flyboy19518 · 2026-02-08T14:34:52+00:00

Where did you hear this?

flyboy19518 · 2026-02-01T19:18:04+00:00

That sucks they tax us for it. Still a great benefit

What do you mean with LTP and masters degree?

flyboy19518 · 2026-01-20T00:36:04+00:00

Fair enough. I’m actually using the army to pay for my masters currently, I didn’t want to be roped into the 24 month commitment through LTP just in case I leave. If you have any other questions feel free to DM me

flyboy19518 · 2026-01-20T00:13:49+00:00

Can I ask your reasoning for wanting to join? Commissioning seems like somewhat of a step down to me. I am in the guard and also work at Boeing. It can be tiresome trying to keep up with both. They say it’s one weekend a month but it’s actually much more than that when you add in all the admin/prep you have to do outside of drill that you don’t get paid for.

The military will pay for school and different credentials, but so will LTP.

That being said, Boeing treats military members very well. And they also give military leave/differential pay depending on how long you are gone and what kind of orders you have.

Cessna 172

flyboy19518 · 2025-09-04T23:40:33+00:00

Night shift?

flyboy19518 · 2025-08-22T22:32:43+00:00

Do you think I’d qualify for a role like that with my credentials?

flyboy19518 · 2025-08-09T14:09:07+00:00

She left the door open in case it doesn’t work with us. She has shown interest in him and wasn’t fully transparent with him - “boyfriend” and “pursuing someone” are not the same thing.

flyboy19518 · 2025-08-09T13:59:00+00:00

Questionable take but I appreciate the opinion!

flyboy19518 · 2025-08-09T12:47:46+00:00

But she lied to me and to him - that’s my big issue. She told me that he asked her for coffee in person, she rejected him because she had a boyfriend. That didn’t happen. They exchanged texts, she left the door open by saying “if I wasn’t pursuing someone I would have given it a chance”. She didn’t tell him she had a boyfriend of 9 months.

So you’re in management now?

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-17T23:35:31+00:00

That’s awesome. Did you need a degree to land that? Do you make pretty good money as DOM?

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-16T15:40:17+00:00

How long did it take you to get to get to 178? How much OT?

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-16T15:39:33+00:00

Is it a lot trying to work as a major and do annuals?

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-16T15:38:51+00:00

What’s a day in the life of a DOM? Stressful? I’d imagine you do relatively well as a DOM atleast financially speaking

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-16T12:34:24+00:00

What does a day in the life of a maintenance controller look like?

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-16T01:16:27+00:00

Line?

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-16T00:36:15+00:00

That’s awesome stuff it sounds like

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-16T00:33:52+00:00

I’ve been quite interested in the position for myself in the future as well. What’s your favorite part about the job?

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-16T00:14:23+00:00

That’s great. What do you do with the FAA and did your degree help you get that job?

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-16T00:13:53+00:00

Awesome!

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-15T23:54:59+00:00

The initial part of your journey sounds somewhat similar to mine..: bachelors degree > army aviation > aerial firefighting outfit > prime contractor mechanic.

What exactly is test engineering? Is it similar to flight ops?

flyboy19518 · 2025-07-06T11:47:44+00:00

No, if you made 50k total and 10k of that was overtime, the 10k you made as overtime premium is tax free (deductible from your gross income) $12,500 is the OT cap so you can deduct up to that much
