I accepted a job with a union, the company is Amentum and they offer a decent salary. All they really said is that working in a union comes with certain extra responsibilities, they didn't go into great depth. I start May 6, they have an on boarding day where they will be going through benefits, and I'm assuming these other terms to my contract. This job is at NAS Corpus Christi.

I am having trouble find open roles on website. Can you post some links?

1.5X pay after 8 hrs. 2X after 10. Saturdays 1.5X up to 8 hrs, 2X everything after. Sundays 2X all day. Holidays 2X all day + straight pay for the day.

It blows my mind this isn’t standard across all aviation. Say what you will about unions, but thank God this is in my union contract. If it isn’t in your contract, change it NOW.

-Edit-

Delta guys considering unionization. Make sure the above overtime pay structure is in your contract because apparently it’s not standard at the Airlines…

I used to work at a small MRO next to Signature flight support. Which signature is where business jets usually go to park, fuel their planes, and lav service etc.

Well, many times they would leave their APU running for several hours straight. It gets pretty annoying with the noise and stuff.

One guy just a couple weeks ago had both engines running a couple hours after I got to work and had them running all day I was there so 6+ hours idling. This time it was BOTH ENGINES, not the APU.

What's the purpose of burning all that fuel? It seems like they always have some Gulfstream out there with their APU running and running. Signature has a GPU available to use too. I just don't get it.

Just what it says - looking for tips on a boot and insole that will help with being on concrete all day and not fall apart if it gets oil on it. Currently using red wings with a Dr. Scholls insole, have had Ariat and cat boots in the past but those didn't hold up as well as the reds.

So I had knee replacement several months ago and during the rehab time I found myself watching rebuild rescue. I know, I could have found better things to watch. Some of the maintenance practices are unreal and you can tell that they have 0 experience with aviation. So I find myself watching for the "what kind of crap are they going to do this episode" value..Sam dying was tragic, feel sorry for the family and I know it's still being invested so I won't go there. The latest episode has them routing throttle quadrant cables and washing the throttle quadrant area out with soap and water. That act in itaelf shows how inexperienced they are. So my concern/question is, who's the A&P and IA? As far as I know, Joe and Jason aren't and the camera man definitely isn't. And that's all you see in the videos, especially since Sam passed, and even before then at times. I personally wouldn't be comfortable with signing any of their tasks off. Any thoughts? Are you all seeing the crap that I see?

As the title states i have some questions about it. So long story short i work for a major on the ramp , i’m about to finish school and understand i’d have to transfer before i could come back here to my hometown, but would like to commute in the mean time , for those that have experienced this , how is it?

I've got a year left. I have a 50% discount on Snap on & another with Sonic. Are there any tools I should buy that a company would not provide me? Not sure if it helps but I was hoping to learn avionics and hopefully work in either the major airlines (United Airlines, Jet Blue more so) or FedEx or another cargo company.

Collins Wxr-2100 is painting the display green when there's no visible precipitation or clouds. Why?

Has anyone worked here before that can share any feedback from the company? Thanks.

Never bought tools before and was wondering how most people went about buying their tools. Whether you bought a premade tool box, bought all your tools from the same company, mixed and matched, went for budget options, etc. I’d appreciate any advice on buying them as well

Does anyone work at American Airlines Pittsburgh and know how it is working there and the pay?

Just wondering if you guys prefer Federal employment? Or private employment? I get it private employment probably makes a little bit more but the job security and benefits is hard to beat with federal employment.

Quick question, what do I need to study to pass the DMAB? The YouTube videos im seeing have ridiculous math problems where I have to square add and subtract to find a pattern. Are these questions this complicated or is it a test I can pass with basic knowledge? Send help please .

Hey gang.

Anybody here work or worked for General Atomics in Palm Dale? I'm kinda curious about the deployable mechanic position. It says salary is about $70k a year but I'm guessing when deployed there is going to be a per diem or hazpay.

I've also seen something online about not being the best culture and lay offs. But I just want to deploy again honestly

Just received this text from a random number. Seems like Union is being pushed very hard. I’m so tempted cause shit needs to change around here.

If i received a sign on bonus with psa and American offers me a job will i still have to pay back the bonus or will it transfer over since I’ll be staying in the company? Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I work in IT and I'm looking for legitimate advice.

Is the career in your opinion worth it? I absolutely love aviation and I think it would be a great fit for me.

But everyone on reddit is so damn negative and everyone on you tube is so damn positive. It's hard to find the realism of it all. The balance I should say.

So what is the overall consensus of the career? Thank you everyone.

Does anyone know what career electives all cover? I’m going to school to get my degree and my A&P license covers 39 credit hours, but only for career electives and my advisor is helping answer the question of what it covers at all except for 13 classes

I do not even know why we keep this stuff.

For starters, I am 20. Have done jack shit, have 0 schooling past HS. With that being said I have decided I will join the military. Specifically the Air Force. I have a list of about 5 AFSCs so far. Two of which are as follows:

2). Helicopter/Tiltrotor Aircraft Maintenance - (AFSC 2A5X2)

3). Aircraft Structural Mechanic - (AFSC 2A7X3)

Nothing is set, I haven't picked a job yet, or even tested. Though I am studying to insure I qualify. My reasons for making this post are to not only ask what the job is like, but also to ask where I can go to read up on how to get this job and what I can do while I am in to speed that process up besides track every little second of OJT.

Would staying in for more than 1 term be time wasted? Is one term enough to get the experience needed to walk out into a good spot or at least be on track to reach one?

Thank you
