Thanks for watching,

This is a nice change from the myriad of videos online like "Why you SHOULDN'T become an Aircraft Mechanic!" All jobs have some things that suck, but the positives is the reason we choose them. People need to focus on the good things about their jobs sometimes!

Retired Navy, went to a 2 week prep class to get a A&P. A MRO hired me, got my A&P there. Retired from them 25 years later. Now I use my tools to work on my Shovelhead FXWG. The MRO was ok for me. At least did Cockpit Window Changes in the Hangers. Before I retired was helping putting HGS in the Cockpits. 737 400 to NG.

Another advantage of working on aircraft I have enjoyed is, in most cases, working airplanes is not as dirty a job as working on vehicles. Ask me how I know. If I could go back and do it again I would have started on aircraft and stayed there. Good videos Bryce.

nice video bryce! I'm a 23yr women who just moved to San Antonio and will start working at Boeing on March 1st. Will need to do 8 weeks of training and pass exams before hitting the floor but I'm so excited and looking forward to it, so for now I'm just getting ready and staying positive!🥳

Now is a good time for aviation. Pilots or mechanics because of the shortages.

For others and regarding your first point, don’t feel like you’re stuck in a crappy job. You do have the freedom (in most cases) to go anywhere, yeah, you might have to be a little more uncomfortable or make changes but that can sometimes be for the better.

Had a job I once loved, something changed both internally and definitely on their end, stuck it out and just became stressed. Got a new job, and I do commute an hour one way, but is well worth the less stress and BS I had to deal with.

Definitely take the training if they offer it, many companies only send mechanics if they are forced to, which is a requirement for many manufacturers service centers.

Thanks, I am a aircraft mechanic too. I am in GA right now.

I am looking for resources to find a job while I am taking classes towards my A&P, I had worked on F-22s avionics.

[rufus]

I’ve been a GA pilot (10 years) / aircraft mechanic 4 years and no one has ever offered up any keys 😅

Do you know how many chances you have to take a written test ?

[hoodparticles]

hello,
im currently an automotive tech but looking to transition to aviation mechanic. i recently learned about Spartan Aviation College, do you know if that's a legitimate pathway to gain a viable career? thanks for the cool vids

[confettihunterminus]

I’m located in Houston right now but willing to relocate. Do you have opinions on the best schools for an A&P license? I’ve heard good things about TSTC and Hallmark university. I’m sort of split between the two. Hallmark is a little more expensive but TSTC doesn’t seem to offer both airframe and power plant together. I’d love to hear your opinions!

[on-pointmediatv]

Hi sir, my name is Mene, I love your video and would want to be train as an A&p aviation mechanic. And would like to study under you because of the vast experience you have. Which college I’m Texas did you teach Aviation program. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you so very much

I have autism and was wondering if being an aircraft mechanic might be a good fit for me. I also have difficulty with my vision not being the best due to a poor lasik eye surgery.

You did it right, buy the hangar and get the IA first. I did the pilots licence and bought a pitts S2B and became an aerobatic pilot, now I'm dealing with the quagmire of all the mechanics I got to know and learn from and get my 8610-2 signed are retiring, hangars are ridiculous right now so trying to find a place in the nation that we want to live to retire to finding an airfield that's not filled with Karens that's affordable while at the same time trying to find a new mechanic AND get my own IA when I have other things to do isent super fun.

No one seems to like aerobatic pilots and their planes.
