Hey i just started an A&P school. Do you guys have any advice for me? Im only 10 weeks in and im really enjoying it( though it seems overwhelming lol).

I was wondering what the overtime is like in this field. Is it possible to do 80 hour weeks? Is it usually time and a half or double time? How is working on weekends and holidays?

Comment down below and if you could please share your journey, that would be really great! Thank you!

Q’s.
How long have you been into the industry?
Which country are you based?
What is your previous career before moving into the aviation industry and how did you go on the process?

Cheers :)

Hi all. I have been given steel cap shoes however they aren’t very comfortable at all for being on my feet for hours. After 6 hours of being on my feet, they feel very bruised and sore. They are the cheap bulk buys that get handed out with absolutely zero comfortability. I know there will be many people who know exactly what I’m on about haha.

Does anyone have recommendations for S3 industry approved safety boots that are actually comfortable to wear?

Any FDR data read and analysis pro here to discuss some technical details in private messages?
