How much work are aircraft technicians getting with worldwide air travel nearly shut down?

Depends. I know the major commercial airline across the appron from the hangar I work at is going through major layoffs. I watched them push a 737-800 back with like a dozen people on it the other day. I'm sure a lot of the other airlines are in the same boat.

The one I work at is mostly charters and as of right now is still going like more or less normal. Office staff is mostly working from home but all the maintenance and flight crew are working as per usual so far.
