      Continuing your education/tuition reimbursement is definitely robust across all the MRO stations, including your MIA hangars. Thank-you for signaling that for sure. Making a tight turn into overall comp, on this end, always want it to be fair & equitable. And on the 24/7, it's in the DNA of aviation, realizing it is a super complicated, operationally-intensive business that is regulated and overseen. Always willing to talk & visit, should you want.

      Performed Heavy Commercial Maintenance on AirBus and Boeing Aircraft

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      No license or experienced needed to get started and you get the years many companies ask for to get hired

      Cons

      The place is run like a mafia. Work ethic does not matter, only how well you play the politics. Undocumented maintenance is common place. Many non-licensed mechanics who do not speak English at all. Lay offs are a fact of life which HR will not warn you about and weekends are a thing of the past

      Greetings, & thank-you for the notes, as on this end, always working to advance the effort of WorkAsOne, so that we can all be DoingItRight. Not sure about the one star, so perhaps consider a modification, or just pull down, as anybody who knows me, clearly knows that I/we have worked the Rockford project with a passion unknown to mankind. That is the full truth. Standing up a brand new facility is not for the timid, and I would be happy to discuss & visit with you. Available all the time. 1-630-227-2074. And of course, out in the Rockford Region at least once a week or so. Very Respectfully, G-Man
