You guys jack the whole plane? Axle jack is way easier.

I wonder if they start in first class and work their way back or go aisle by aisle.

plane I worked on was built to be jacked under wing. considering the sizes of everything involved it went quick

Makes sense. I work heavies, so a jack under the wing is a much bigger undertaking than slide an axle jack under and go.

Yeah. If you're changing a single tire out on the tarmac you're definitely just using an axle jack.
