So I count 3 of us so far that work(ed) in aviation. Cool! Hope to be back on aircraft soon myself. I learned it in the Air Force too. '84 to '92 I worked on F-15's and F-117's. I was stationed at Eglin and Nellis (TTR) and did 8.5 months in Saudi during Desert Storm. The F-15 is still my favorite airplane. I was a 431x1 that was rivet force combined to become a 45274. That's a Crewchief, or it used to be. I was in the 33rd TFW, 59th AMU (which has been decomissioned) at Eglin and the 4450th which became the 37th TFW at Tonopah (now at Holloman). When I got out, I didn't have my A+P, so I worked in construction and at a motorcycle shop when I decided I really wanted to work on airplanes again, so I went and got my A+P license and eventually got a job as an A+P line mechanic at a small airline (Scenic) worked there for a while, took a better job at Allied Signal as Q.A. then got an even better job at America West Airlines. Worked up to Maint. Supervisor there before I/we decided to move back to Michigan. Did eventually get a job here in Kalamazoo as Station supervisor for an aircraft contract maint. co. based out of N. Carolina. Worked on Comair CRJ's doing overnight checks and on call for whomever when after 3 years, Comair decides not to fly here anymore. In the famous words of Homer Simpson, "DOHHH!" Since we really like it here, I decided to suck it up and not follow the job, so now I work on deisels at an IH dealership. It's good honest work, but it don't pay so good and I'd really rather be working on airplanes. Problem with that is, no airlines have maint. here or Battle creek or Grand Rapids. That leaves few choices and the small hangers don't generally pay so well and are very low turnover. Hmmmm.....what to do? Well, if I stay at the truck place long enough, I'll end up running the place. No doubt in my mind. They love me there because I ain't afraid of all the new technologies. (a lot of these guys work on trucks cause they aren't so good with computers if ya know what I mean) Not to toot my own horn, but I've never been to a truck school one, and 6 mos on the job and I am showing my leadman how I diagnosed an ABS problem with the company laptop. He has no clue. To add insult to injury, we've been on a pay freeze for the entire year I have been here. It's a fargin crime what these guys are getting paid here anyway. The rate of turnover is high, so if I stay long enough, I just may be able to write my own ticket. Hope is on the horizon either way, One company called Duncan aviation is expanding thier Battle Creek facility and that is supposed to add about 300 new maint. positions, and another company is building a small hanger at the Kalamazoo airport, and I happen to know that company does employ their own mechanics. Good news for Michigan these days, let me tell ya!
Probably a little too much info, but I do feel better now.
Thanks!
:-D

i'm amy, i live in westchester county, ny. i do a lot of things for a living. let's see....i'm working on my Ph.D. in developmental psychology (i'm abd at the moment, writting my proposal). i go to yeshiva university at the albert einstein college of medicine in the bronx. i also do research at einstein in the epidemiology and population health department. i teach psychology at both IONA college and at westchester community college. i also (getting a little rediculous, right?) do payroll for a company in manhattan. when i'm not doing any of those other jobs, i also have a dog walking job in the morning and night. i keep myself pretty busy as you can see.
when i'm not working, you can usually find me at one of the tracks around here breaking my car. it's a favorite pastime of mine and a running joke. i have yet to make a trip to the track this season where i drove out with everything in working order. in fact, one time i didn't even get to drive out at all....

Yup thats me with the nose ring LMAO. Which I unfortunately dont have anymore. I was underneath my car putting in Stage 1, and I turned my head to the left because some dirt fell into my eye and in the process slammed my nose on the apron of the engine bay, pulling the ring out partially. It got irritated, and I got pissed off so I took it out. :( Its alright, Ill get it done again....give it time.  Its already been done twice already. Im gonna go for number 3 lmao.
