Of course, that's just my opinion. I worked my way up from an FBO to a corporate flight department to a major airline. I have now been at the airline for almost 15 years. I have worked overhaul and line maintenance, and now find myself back at an overhaul facility. I feel fully qualified to comment on the current situation in the airline industry today.
Many people wonder why there is a growing shortage of AMTs.
I've been following this subject for a while, reading and gathering information. Now that will really get them motivated to become involved in aircraft maintenance. Almost all other skilled trades make more than an AMT, yet they work Monday-Friday and have very little liability. I'm in my 40's and looking to change careers to a flight attendant. I have done a lot of research, but your magazine has helped me in so many ways and answered a great many questions.
