Hi All [:)] I have been studying and am going to set a date (again) to take the test. When I pass the first test then I get to study for a second test. After I pass the second test then I study more material and then go to an examiner who will ask me questions that I must answer. After that then we do "practicals" to test mechanical knowlege, tool, etc. Sounds like a lot of fun, yeah right. When I do all of that and pass then I get my "Powerplant" license. Then I get to study for my Airframe License and do it all over again. But after all is said and done then I can apppply for an Inspector position at work. The inspectors work really hard, NOT. During the week many times they actually have nothing to do and on weekends they normally read a book. Why am I after this position? A combination of reasons, some health related and some financial related ( the position's starting pay is 2 bucks an hour more than I make now), and of course the last reason is, "I am getting Lazy." <Ouuuu, the truth hurts.> There are other reasons too, our department has the same exact "problems" that it did 5 and 10 years ago and they happen on every airplane. Yet we continue to operate "business as usual" and the same problems continue to plaque us. Yet we can't get our management to do anything but lip service about them. It is very frustrating and extremely bad for moral. We continue to lose good people to other companies but management just doesn't seem to have a clue. Well I better put the soap box up and try to study some more, or get some rest one. It is almost 2:45 so I need to get off the "one eyed monster". Bye All [:)] Take Care and Stay Safe [;)]
