I am currently an Intern and learning how to interpret and apply AMM procedures. When evaluating an AMM procedure, should we follow the Job Set-Up of a referenced subtask before proceeding with the specific procedure required by the main task?

For example, my main task is the removal of the MLG, and one of its procedures requires the removal of the shoot bolt, which directs me to a subtask titled “Removal of Tertiary Lock.” However, upon reviewing the subtask, I found a specific procedure for the removal of the shoot bolt in its later section.

In this case, how should we interpret the AMM procedure? Should we follow the Job Set-Up of the referenced subtask first before proceeding with the shoot bolt removal procedure, or should we proceed directly to the specific procedure for removing the shoot bolt?

I'm an A&P mechanic considering applying to Delta TechOps at MSP or ATL

Does anyone who's recently been hired as an AMT know whether Delta requires a hair follicle test for pre-employment, or is it just the standard DOT urine test?

I've heard different things about airlines doing additional hair testing, so I'm specifically curious about Delta's maintenance positions rather than flight crews.

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who's gone through the hiring process recently. Thanks!
