Business Outlook
Pros
- Valuable on-the-job training and high safety standards - Foot in the door for any position in the aviation industry (networking!) - Working on and around aircraft - Small discount at Phoenix Flight Academy - Very flexible scheduling, and easy to get time off (unpaid) - Optional 401K - LST position is overall an enjoyable job to have
Cons
- Pay at some FBOs is very subpar (I make $10 as an LST of 2 years) ^ EDIT: Pay has increased to $12.50 - No benefits until promoted beyond line service (can take years) - No PTO until promoted beyond line service - No longevity bonuses or raises (you'll have to ask, and no guarantees) - Hour cap per-FBO, so some people might not get enough hours depending on roster size
