If you want to be just a "warm body"

Field maintenance mechanic

Recommend

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.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good environment. Very flexible about working from home. IT management very approachable. Interesting business. Organized - got a laptop with all passwords and access on the first day! Employees can ride in a helicopter on a flight for life.

Cons

More consultants than staff. Some critical people were not included in the project planning and should have been; as a consultant I could not recognize the omission even though I asked several times.
