I’m a 35+ year mechanic. My big thing is the attitude of a lot of pilots about mechanics. A lot of them don’t care about maintenance or mechanics. The Military is good on team work, that is missing in civil aviation.

@VictoryAviation

That waiting list is nuts! I tell every single person I talk to that’s interested in becoming an A&P, you will never not have a job. The aviation industry needs you!

Great video Chelsea. Glad to see you on In The Hanger.

@martinhiner2059

With new personality, new info. Dan is a genius. He can cover all bases, and make this channel of all aviation channels.

Interesting interview. I'm an old new pilot and aircraft owner. Last year I was able to assist on my aircraft annual. I totally agree with you, that it's time well spent. I have a mechanical/electrical background which helped. It's a little late in life for me to go back to school, but an A&P/IA looks like a good opportunity.

Thanks for a bit of inspiration. I did 34 years with the airlines but always had one foot in GA with a small vintage aircraft restoration sideline. I have a '46 Luscombe and a '46 Swift that are both projects I had figured I'd tackle in retirement but once I got here I felt kind of burnt out and unsure if I really wanted to continue on with it. The VAA magazines and youtube videos like this help lift me out of my doldrums and realize that maybe it's just a phase I'm going through. We'll see.

@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity

A&P, five yrs military, $12.25/hr in 1993. No thanks after 4 yrs working for overpaid corporate exec millionaires taking their families on vacations. I went to HVAC school on the GI Bill, started at $13.00/hr and then started my own business. Now 23 great years. Finally, could afford to build an experimental aircraft. Until CEO’s get some integrity and reduce their income to $500K, don’t expect anything but complaints from underpaid employees in the USA.
