Hi all
New to this forum, but I thought I might throw this out and see what comes up. I am a recently minted Private Pilot with 12 Years as an A&P, both GA and Airline exp. (sheetmetal, A&P, Lead, and Inspector). I Currently am working as a Millwright because Pay is so lousy as a A&P. I have to start out at 18-$20.00 if I want to work as an A&P, I took a buyout from the Airline I was working for, due to the base closure, rather than move to Okie City. I want to get back into it again, so I thought getting my private pilot, might find me a job flying. Does anyone have any ideas, or know of a job where I could fly for a living, and work on the A/C as needed? I hope it would pay better than A&P work. I live on the West Coast of U.S. At my age It wouldn't make sense to go the ATP route, by the time I retired, I would have barely even paid for the training to get there. Just looking for some way to fly AND make a decent wage at the same time. I know, sounds like a pipe dream.
