Not what it used to be, but it’s decent pay
Not what it used to be, but it’s decent pay
Annual raises based on union contract.
Flight benefits.
Ability to move around as much as you like.
A lot of training available.
Work-life balance gets skewed. Not enough equipment on the line to help you do your job. Avionics is severely undermanned. Toxic management in the absence of Crew Chiefs. Really long probation due to hidden clauses.
Trust your employees. Listen to them. Remove toxic leadership. Actually have a clue of what you’re saying. Accountability of self and ability to make decisions.

A very quick interview event that involved a practical portion and questions. There was very little time to decide whether or not to accept the offer. It involved a rapid drug test on the spot and fingerprint checking.

Two parts. The first is a mechanical test, and then if you pass, you get the behavioral test. Which was basic Starr questions. Overall, not bad. I just didn’t expect the mechanical test, lol.
