*** Shout out to @Blaircraft.Engines for the hat I'm wearing, check him out!
🚨 Sorry for the poor audio quality in the beginning, trying to improve things with some noise cancelling lav mics. But it wouldn't pair with the phone and my backup just wasn't plugged in all the way. Realized it near the end. What kind of mic do you recommend for Grease Monkey Gab?

So…is there an aviation equivalent of being sent to get a “left handed monkey wrench” ? 😉

thanks for your feedback and good luck on your continued career track.

Gorgeous vlog. The 1st person accounts are a gorgeous tune in from you.

I'm 5 months in to my first A&P job working at a regional airline. Honestly a more similar experience than you'd think. Most of the time, as a newer guy, you'll be doing just general servicing and scheduled maintenance. Still stressful for that first bit of the job where you're figuring it all out, especially with how computerized the aircraft are and watching them leave for a gate to get loaded with passengers every morning after you're done.

Thanks bro. Considering a career change at 42.

The General written is by far the hardest of all 3 writtens. Most students ive spoken to would agree to this and in my experience it is. I take my gen/Af o&p on the 1st and its not easy but really the writtens are the hardest exams. By the O&P time you should have learned most of what you need to know.

Do you get to fly at all anymore?

Would you be able to direct me to a(your recommendation-so I get all the work experience I need to be signed off for the exam not just a place who only has oil change log in work) company name for an apprenticeship at Van Nuys Airport or Burbank airport area, Los Angeles?
