[QUOTE="unionman, post: 492250, member: 21107"] Hey Need4speed, I use to work for United airlines which use to do Heavy maintenance on all there aircraft. It took United 50 plus years to get there maintenance program to where it was before they decided to outsource it. They had tooling that was made for jobs in the thousands, they had the engineering, they had everything they needed to have complete control over how and when there aircraft got repaired. United used bankruptcy like many other careers and got rid of there in house maintenance. I'm not complaining I'm trying to make a point. Now that just about every airline no longer does heavy checks and they have reduced there AMT's by the thousands. There are no pensions, the wages are good but the working conditions are bad. Midnights, traveling all over the country to stay employed. To get one of the good jobs it will take you years working with no benefits in places like Mobile aerospace, or Timco. Basically what I'm trying to say is that our career field is fading fast. There are no new AMT's coming into this field and the ones that have been laid off have found other careers because there is no hope of coming back. There is a big problem coming for all airlines. No talent to work on these aircraft in the near future. There is such a big gap between the experienced AMT and the not so experienced AMT that there will be big problems in the not so distant future. You are seeing it when you fly those aircraft out of Moblie aerospace or Timco. [/QUOTE]
