Dallas, TX
Best place I have worked in 15 years of aviation
Great management that actually listens, excellent benefits package with full medical and dental, generous PTO, and real opportunities for advancement. The team culture is second to none.
Shift work means you will miss some weekends and holidays, but that is standard in aviation. Overtime is available but can pile up during peak seasons.
Solid company with good growth potential
Strong safety culture, good pay relative to the region, and the training program is top-tier. My IA was sponsored by the company.
Promotion timeline can be slow if your direct supervisor does not advocate for you. Communication from upper management could improve.
Decent job but room for improvement
Steady work, competitive hourly rate, and good coworkers. The hangar is modern and well-equipped.
Management is hit or miss depending on your shop lead. Benefits are average and 401k match is below industry standard. Work-life balance suffers during heavy check seasons.
Incredible team, highly recommend for experienced mechanics
Excellent pay, overtime opportunities, strong union representation, and the company invests in continuing education. Worked on wide-body heavy checks which is great experience.
Night shift is tough to get off once you are on it. Parking is a bit of a headache at the main facility.
High turnover for a reason
Good location and decent base pay if you negotiate well.
Chronic understaffing leads to mandatory overtime almost every week. Safety concerns get brushed under the rug too often. Management is reactive rather than proactive. Left after 14 months.
