Field maintenance mechanic

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Noble job with the opportunity help the team save lives. The local crews seem to appreciate having a skilled mechanic available to discuss their needs. Pay is slightly above average for compared to other small aviation jobs I've had. Benefits are good.

Cons

Must be available 24/7. No thanks or appreciation from middle management. Even though the company continues to grow in the current economy, raises are minimal. Mechanics are treated like the bottom of the food chain but continue to hold the majority of the responsabilities. AMC is always looking for "someone" to place the blame when things go wrong. Rarely do they look into the causes and corrections of the problems. Very little communication at the field level. Middle management rarely keeps in touch or communicates with the mechanics. Watch out for the "ready, fire, aim" approach to handling problems.
