Hello,
My hubby retires from the Navy and wants to work for an airline or private company. He has experience with all types of aircraft. I know many of you fly them but would you have any tips on how to find a job for a private company as an aircraft mechanic? He would like to get away from the military part of it, 20 years was enough for him 
Thanks!
One can make more money as an automobile mechanic than a general aviation mechanic. You’d think that airplane owners are all wealthy people who don’t mind paying the extra money for good service, but I can tell you that is not the case. Pilots are some of the cheapest individuals as a group that i know of. Allen? CanadaMooney? Erisajd? Do you agree?
There’s an old saying, “If you want to attract assholes, put up a windsock.”
Most airline mechanics (all?) are unionized, so that can be comforting to some people. There is a greater likelihood of making more money with an airline or a contractor for an airline.
