can anyone get me a job???

[aviator_mech]

I've been trying to get back into M2 aviation for the past year since I was laid off back in February, man is it honestly that hard to find a job again?!? I've been sending out countless resumes, I have 4 years of M2 commercial aircraft mechanic experience and 2 years of aircraft restoration experience, and another 2 years of mechanical trades experience... I mean geez I've had 3 interviews in the past year, this really sucks, and majority of them told them that they are primarily looking for licensed guys.... I mean common I am 6 months away from getting my license... If anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated, I really want to get back into the swing of things!

Sorry I don't know anyone hiring right now!! But try getting into some M1 places since you already have 4 years your previous M2 time will count towards an M2 license and if you work for 12 months at an M1 shop you could end up with both M1/M2. Try volunteering at the Warplane Museum or Downsview ... you don't have to do it full time but if you can accumulate 6 months worth of time TC may accept that as well. Also if you are 6 months away you can write your final exams that will definitely help you get a job!!!

Try Kelowna Flightcraft.
Send your resume to their HR office.
In your cover letter tell them you dont mind relocating to YVR.
I hear there is going to be some depatures there soon.
You dont mind working on Convairs, 727's and DC10's do ya?
Oh yeah, no hangar there either, cant be bad coz vancouver has nice weather aye!
Good luck.

MTU in Richmond is looking, if you want to become a flange mechanic. Unfortunately they want those with at least an AME licence.

KFC in YVR had 2 AME departures in Feb.
Now they have a couple more AME to depart in a couple months.
All they can get is apprentices to fill in temp positions.
You've got a good shot to get a job.
You will get some ratings as well, convair, 727, DC10, and anything else out of the 1950's.

Oh the irony.


KFC was the place that let me go six months from my M2.

Neat aircraft though. I miss the 727s and Convairs.

Not sure where you get your information but its wrong. Perhaps you should stop by the office and ask to talk to the new guy, he can show you his license and endorsements.

Ask for who? Little Mo? CV580, B727 and B737-2/3/4/5.
Who was that girl there....what were her ratings?
