I am a retired AAL B-777 captain. Knowing that the technicians, working on my plane, had your positive attitude and loved your job this much made it possible to sleep at night. I flew Airbus (A319-320-321) for 19 years and Boeings (737, 757, 767, 777) for 15 years. I loved them all. The 777 was the most capable airplane I ever flew. I could take of from Dallas, fly 17 hours to Hong Kong, and still have 2+ hours of fuel on board. Thanks for taking such good care of all of us.

As an AMT student, I love this kind of content. Can’t wait to get out there and work on these beautiful aircraft.

I’m a female looking into becoming an A&P mechanic and watching this video made me smile so many times. Your love of the aircraft and the seriousness you have for your job inspire me. I think it’s exactly the right career for me, can’t wait to be working with these big beasts someday. ❤ thank you for bringing us along on your day

As an Avgeek I love seeing the inner workings of these machines. I find it super interesting.

[richardschindler]

What a great video. As a retired corporate pilot as well as a A n P mech, I love seeing all what’s new in the world of aviation. Be well my friend !

As a DL pilot, I appreciate you and all the fellow AMTs out there for keeping our birds safe. I love your enthusiasm and work ethic. Keep the videos coming! I can’t wait until we receive our Maxs next year I’m ‘25. Cheers!

[kiwiwhispers]

Fascinating stuff Stig! Appreciate the effort gone into the video to show us around, and I appreciate you more for keeping us safe in the skies. Love your enthusiasm.

I guess most of the passengers, including me, do appreciate delays very well with regards to properly executed maintenance. Take all the time you ever need and if there's something you can't fix completely we are happy to stay on ground and take the next flight safely.

This Folks, is EXACTLY who you want working on your airplane! Someone who loves their job, and the airplanes they work on. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it!

[sgtjay]

Thank you for all you and your team does to keep us safe and in the air quickly when something goes wrong. You likely don’t hear it often but Thank You you are the best! God bless you all for keeping us safe and our flight crews! Cheers, if I ever meet any of ya in an airport I will buy ya a burger or a beer if your shift is over. Cheers and it is so amazing the love you have for your job and it shows!

Massive flashback to my internship period for line maintenance a year ago. Cool to see again and I can relate to a lot of stuff! Thanks for uploading and your great attitude and keeping those birds safe to fly! 👍🛫

Stig, as a mechanic at that big blue hangar at LAX I still keep learning new things everytime I watch your videos. Keep doing what youre doing!

[dadflys-]

Nicely done Stig!
I’ve been a private pilot from Long Island N.Y. for over 40 years and I never get tired of flying, looking at, or fixing airplanes. Whether watching you maintain your fleet…or doing an oil change on my Beech Baron, all aircraft are awesome. You may be obsessed..but you’re also blessed! Keep’m flying 🛫

It's nothing like watching and listening to a professional who actually works and enjoys his work on this aircraft 'thank you and talk all you want its good conversation and average person can learn something for you. Kudos for you bro.

[gunlogo]

LOVED the views from inside the gear opening...awesome! Thanks for sharing your day with us. Glad to know there are dedicated mechanics out there working to keep us safe.

[rdTrickGang]

My favorite part is when you said how the biggest thing about being a mechanic is being a troubleshooter, that's exactly it turning wrenches is a quarter of the job. Been a diesel mechanic for 20 years and I spend more time scratching my head than turning wrenches most of the time. Although I have much respect for you guys because I can imagine what it's like trying to troubleshoot one of those birds. Great videos man best wishes.

[Michael.Chapman]

Your enjoyment at work and your attempts to share it is wonderful—what a neat colleague. You’re also spreading enthusiasm of your high level technical knowledge… thanks for sharing your really interesting work day :-)

Im a csa at AA thank you for all of ya hard work and keeping us, the crew and the passengers safe i love watching your video

Just found your channel and watched this and loved it. I'm an engineering tradesman (not aviation) but have been involved in flying and aircraft restoration so was geeking out. Air New Zealand dabbled in doing BBJ fit outs on the 737. Back in around 2015 or so at their engineering base they had a brand new 737 sitting in a hangar which I was lucky to be allowed to view. It was owned by a Russian Oligarch(probably spelled that wrong!) and it flew from the factory with no interior apart from the cockpit seats! Air New Zealand designed the custom interior which inclued a double bed with a mirror on the kid you not. I got to see the same clean undercarriage bay since she had obnly done maybe five landings? Anyway great video!

Started as a mechanic in 1978 until 2010.

I got called a prissy boy because I wore calf skin gloves.

Back then real men didn't wear gloves.

Another trick I did. I kept a bath size 12:58 bar of Irish Spring soap. Before I started working on anything I would rake my finger nails across the dry bar to pack under my nails with soap.

Simple nail brush at the end of the day. No oil / grease stained nails.

My wife appreciated my clean nails.

I subscribed, you seem to be a good kid.
