Pros

Job security is pretty good. Work availability fluctuates with the airline bussiness. For example 2020 was kinda rough, but they found a way to keep us paid if you wanted to show up and push a broom for 8 hours.

Cons

Pay could be better. Tooling can be hard to come by sometimes. For example you could have 10 of a certain tool available in tool crib but 8 of them will be broken and not repaired in a timely manner, so 5 technicians will have to hunt down and share the remaining 2 that work.

Pros

It was a great company to work for.

Cons

There was some compliance issues that needed to be addressed. Some of the old mechanics were used to doing things the way they "had always done them" same thing with training and other managers rather than reading the manuals so it led to customer issues. It could have definitely been avoided. AAR Corp took over and just laid off all the good people who were trying to make positive changes rather than interviewing anyone. So now they are stuck with all the ones that are in that "lets keep doing it the way we have always done it mindset". If they dont sell it or break it down for parts - I will be surprised.
