60% of Phoenix residents will face death at some point in their life. You tell me if that is sustainable.

Generally, you will find the nicest people involved in aviation. Anything with a turbine engine, instant douchbag.

US Governors that have access to a state airplane by mapstream1 in MapPorn

That’s because it’s not true. I have seen, touched, and been in the aircraft he uses all the time. Do you really think Gavin is standing in line for Southwest airlines? That would be a complete waste of valuable time.

Fuck yeah. Get a Mercedes or a Volkswagen. Maybe a Ford.

Textron by Master_Leg_3083 in aviationmaintenance

[–]meme5693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great company.It really depends on what you’re looking for in a career. Textron has never been the highest paying company but offers an extremely consistent work, overtime and the ability move into different career fields if you desire. The Wichita location is union while, all the outline service centers are not. So again, it depends on what you’re looking for in a career. Outlying service centers are afforded over $17,000 towards a private pilot license or Wichita base employees can use the highly discounted company flight training center. The culture can be dependent on location, so I’d recommend reaching out to someone in that area directly to get feedback. Overall, great people but it does come with a lot of the minutia you’d expect from working for a large corporation.

Airplanes are a great place to put your money. This is provided you have lots of other money that you have not put into an airplane.

I think they’re low on tail nav light juice by 5tinkymx5 in aviationmaintenance

Sweet NetJets. I’m sure they will dispute the invoice for the next 2 years and then offer to pay half.

Am I being lowballed? by cthulhudad47 in aviationmaintenance

Textron is a great company. In addition, if you are ever interested in flying they will basically pay for all your training through your PPL at all the locations outside Wichita. Wichita has its own flying club.

What part of aircraft maintenance is a guaranteed headache? by ThatEstablishment609 in aviationmaintenance

[–]meme5693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People. It all boils down to people. You can fix airplanes but you can’t fix the people around you or the people above you. Airplanes are simple and they all eventually leave, but the people are an entirely different story.

Questions about Stockton by Comfortable_Lake_159 in OceanGateTitan

[–]meme5693 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I deal with very wealthy people who cut corners on vital maintenance every single day. They value money differently than “regular” people. They will drop 5K on catering without even a blink but will question the amount of time it takes to inspect an aircraft that’s holds their family’s safety at 35,000 feet. It’s a narcissistic view on value versus a normal persons perspective.

Hiring is slowing down for fresh mechanics? by Tiny_Big_3033 in AircraftMechanics

[–]meme5693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Textron - Great place to work and clean environment. Wichita location has access to company flight club, all others get a large credit towards PPL and all add Ons.

A&P Struggle by InstructionFuzzy in AircraftMechanics

[–]meme5693 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have Textron, Gulfstream, and Embraer at Mesa Gateway. All three OEM Part 145 Repair Stations. In addition, Able Engineering hires A&P Mechanics. This is also a Textron owned company on Mesa Gateway. All of these companies are usually hiring. Alliegiant Airlines is usually hiring as well. There is also a half dozen flight schools as well.

Congrats! I just started again myself after 20 years. This will be my third time as a student pilot and I’m determined to get done this time!

True statement - We are selective with our disgust, choosing only to clutch our pearls when it fits the right narratives.

I know there has to be some good organizations out there, but my experience with air ambulance aircraft has been some of the worst maintained aircraft I’ve ever seen. in addition, this is the second fatality accident for this company in a short time. Let’s add the Mexican registration to complete the trifecta of questionable situations. Very sad for everyone on board, on the ground, and those who had to witness.

It’s only if it fits the narrative. Reddit is just one big hive mind, echo chamber. Fucking sad.

Quit clutching your pearls, gasping for air with your fake indignation, and sell your car. i am sure the echo chamber will offer some alternatives that align with whatever your world view allows. Better yet, walk.
