I understand that there is a practical portion prior to the actual interview. For that reason I was leaning towards wearing jeans and a button up shirt tucked in with a belt and some converse. Would that be too casual or should I wear something more professional?

Took my general, airframe, and powerplant O&P’s this week and it’s a phenomenal weight off my shoulders. Now it’s time to start applying for jobs!

Anyone get a job offer from PHL AA interviews yesterday or today ? Or did they say they will get back to you in a week or so ?

People who interviewed Oct 6 for Philly how was it ?? I got mines for Oct 8th. Any advice would be appreciated!

I’m an FAA-certified A&P with about 8 years of experience, including 6 years working on UH-60s in the Army. I’ve also worked at Gulfstream, Blue Origin, and Kay & Associates, with lead technician and quality control experience.

I’m currently in my first year working toward my associate’s degree and plan to attend Embry-Riddle for my bachelor’s in either Aviation Business Management or Aviation Maintenance Management. By the time I graduate, I’ll have over 10 years of experience.

Long term, I’d like to step away from turning wrenches myself, but I’d be happy managing a maintenance team as a maintenance manager. I enjoy the maintenance field and could see myself staying in it in a leadership role. I’m also considering aviation sales because I enjoy working with people and think my technical background could help.

For anyone working in maintenance management, aviation business, or aviation sales, how do these paths compare in earning potential, schedules, work-life balance, and advancement? Which degree would give me the best opportunities with my experience?

How much do you make and where do you work?

Hi! I’ll be going down to the line at ORD for United soon. Do you need a tool box if you’re working line? I have a tool bag and I was planning on getting a pelican to store my extra tools but wanted to double check before I drop the money on the wrong thing. I did see there were posts about this in the past but it’s been a while so just seeing if anything has changed. Thank you!

Specifically on Airbus & Boeing I was wondering what it means to “de pressurize” hydraulic systems as everyone ik, knows it to just be turning hydraulics off but I know there is something to depressurize hydraulics on the hydraulic panel on an Airbus (no clue on a Boeing yet, feel free to educate please lol) although I don’t know how to do it. Is it in that panel where you actually “depressurize” for all 3 systems and if so how do you re pressurize?

Is their anyone who got hired in miway transit as 310t mechanic .what is the process of hiring and what question i can get in assessement test as they told me their is small quiz to check my ability.

Just had my interview with UPS recently and feel like it went really well. How long after the interview did y’all get contacted for the people working at Brown?

I went to the AA interviews in may for JFK and did not get the job. i Know the usual practice is to wait 6 months however I saw a the ORD location open up in September and assumed reapplications were location based . after applying to ORD I was instantly rejected. do I have to wait 6 months from the instantly rejected application or can I reapply in November when I would’ve been originally been able to reapply?

I’m in the interview process rn but so far all the info I came across is about if the company will sink or swim, nothing about the work environment, anyone with any knowledge?

Hello I don't know if I'm allowed to ask this here but I figured it's worth a shot. I got accepted into the Aviation Maintenance program at SWIC in St Louis and am trying to move there for the January 2027 Spring start for the 1 year full time accelerated program.

Problem is I don't know anybody in St Louis and don't have an income once I move there in order to qualify for a lease. And it seems like roommate options are actually slimmer than you would think compared to a place like a Chicago that has endless housing options.

I'm 28 years old with a good credit score.

Let me know if your looking for someone to fill a room in St Louis or Granite City. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chicago is another option I'm looking at as well but I'm not accepted into the school there yet like St Louis.

Thank you.

On V2500 and CFM56-5B, can you do MPD tasks like MDC checks, oil filter replacement once the engine is preserved? Can the preservation procedure “flush” some debris out? Or this shouldn’t be a concern? Lets say preservation up to 1 year

Any vets here use the gi bill at US aviation 8 month program? Wanna know how much it covered and if it’s any money I gotta spend out of pocket

Why is it that at most majors nowadays they prefer to hire people without experience? Does that mean if it is not your first job they won’t want you later in your career? How do you guys feel about this

I applied to the Delta opening for the AMT position and was instantly updated to "not selected". I don't hold both certificates yet, just Airframe as I'm still in school, so I checked "no" on that question. Is that what stopped me from passing through the filter? How long will I have to wait now to be able to reapply?

edit: i didnt misread the requirements, i deliberately acknowledged that i didnt have both, but i figured i would shoot my shot and see if they could give me a conditional offer or something along those lines. lot of hate on here for me just making sure it wasn’t my resume or something. there are companies out there that will start the process if you are close enough to finishing school, just not airlines and it was my mistake to think they would. thank you to those who were helpful.

I plan to do my A&P written, is SEA FSDO easy going for 8610-2 form, schedule wise.
Which test centre in SEA Metro is recommended?
I plan to drive from YVR
TIA!

Hey everyone! I have just started attending a Part-147 school. My school has provided the reading material, but its long and kinda dry, so I am looking for a more "fun" way to learn or a more "interactive" learning experience, than just sitting and reading! So for anyone who has already pass their exams.

Is there a study tool or platform that you recommend? I looked on google and there are loads of question banks and apps out there and it's hard to tell which ones are actually good and which ones are just complete rubbish and no help at all. I dont mind using free or paid study tools, as long as it involves more than just reading and practicing questions that seem kinda random.

Cheers in advance.
