In my 30 year career as a Delta Captain, I never experienced an engine failure or major aircraft malfunction. These men and women are the best in the world.

I like Morris' energy for his job. It has to do with safety so good energy is needed

[TEAMUSA]

My respect to all these professionals, that make flying, the safest method of transportation.

"How dumb should we assume our viewers are?"
"Call the repair shop a plane hospital"

32 million dollar engine: *Exists*

Seagull: “I’m about to end this mans whole career”

"The work never stop because the plane never stop"
covid-19: say less

This just gives me so much respect for the complexity of these workers and engines

[PierreCC]

That seriously makes me feel more comfortable onboard.

One of the few places on the planet where you find the concept of QUALITY taken extremely seriously. Thanks for uploading this video.

Without taking anything away from pilots; whose own roles are incredibly important; these techs are just as super important and are like surgeons. They not only need to do the right job, they need to follow rules, not cut corners, use original parts and know they are (not counterfeit) and understand everything. And not levee a single bolt, a single wire disconnected.
These people keep the actual plane in the air, keep people safe and they deserve all the money they earn. Kudos!!!

I toured this facility back in high school. It was the coolest thing ever!

[TechMindHD]

The engineering in these things is mind boggling. Not to mention building stuff to fix it is an engineering feat of it's own.

Very impressive and super appreciated that Big businesses are showing us a sneak peek of the Engine shop. Excellent work Delta

[TriRabbi]

A friend of mine who worked as an engineer at that facility gave me a personal tour of this facility on a Saturday evening back in 1992. It was once in a lifetime experience.

[peterassel]

Spent some time here as both supplier and customer, and every single time amazed by the skill and genuine care of the Delta crew. Chins up guys.
