Dear Mackie, If I had my time again I'd go avionics for the following bitter and twisted reasons:-
1)These people can earn more than me without the responsibility of having to run the place, because they generally have 5 licences.
2)Don't get dirty or greasy.
3)Don't expect to do refuelling.
4)Don't expect to do PDI's.
5)Don't expect to do de-icing.
6)Generally work in the warm and dry.
7)Seem to be able to move between employers easier than A&C guys.
8)Spend more time in the crewroom looking at Flight searching for jobs, see 7)
9)Hide in the battery bay when you're looking for a towing team.
10)Get the already overstretched heavies to remove tricky panels for you etc.
Ten pretty good reasons to become avionics.
