Mainly nightshifts, in the wind, cold, even snow, working on a snag, almost against the clock, trying to get it all fixed before the aircraft has to go flying again in the morning, so it doesn't get delayed!. Awesome fun.
Don't know about you guys, but I much prefer this "challenge" than a 9-5 job, where you know what you will be doing for the next 8 hours.....rolling up at work, not knowing quiet whats instore for you tonight!
The pull is to work on aircraft, to work outside & to do something different.
I'm not the sort of person who can stay behind a computer for the rest of my working life, it's gonna drive me mental. I've done it for a few years & i'm already sick of it. I've always enjoyed the kind of "shop floor" people & atmosphere as well. There's so many reasons that appeal.
Does anyone think I'm just too old to start to learn??
