I believe UPS is top of the food chain right now at over $60 an hour. Anyone considering this career field at a major airline should be prepared to work a lot of night shift, a lot of weekends, miss a lot of family outings, be exposed to a lot of chemicals, expect hearing loss, and work under pressure to make flights go out on time. The money is there, but you pay a price. Know the pros / cons will make you make a better choice. Talk to someone in the field.

A Tip: Choose a commercial airliner that is big in the State where you wish to raise a family or enjoy living. I worked for one of the big three commercial airliner for 15 years from 1990-2005. Enjoyed the job and flight benefits the most. Attempt getting a basic college degree, the A&P and the one time elusive FCC Gen Radio license and understand the basics of electronics and you will be well rounded. In later years, if you wish to move up the ranks when you get tired of wrench turning. The salary was enough to be comfortable but you will never be rich unless you have a gig where there are a lot of overtime in the department or shift you picked; if you choose to work the overtime. The skill set you will learn as a technician is priceless. Most of the big three have outsourced or farmed non critical jobs and kept the critical in house.

32 year retired A&P from a major US carrier. I started out in the military and then worked defense contract, commuter regional, air freight, then major airline. Be prepared to work third shift for many years, you will experience exhaustion & fatigue daily. It's much easier if you are single as it's hard to maintain a normal family life. If you are married you will miss many holidays, family functions, kids sporting events. As to job security the 9/11 layoffs were bad and some people I know were on the street for YEARS. The pandemic was not as bad but people still got put on the street, just not for years but a month or two. If you work line maintenance you will work outside no matter the weather. Hangar maintenance is not subject to this but both line & hangar are dangerous environments. I've seen people die and also be terribly wounded, keep your head on a swivel at all times. You aren't a real airline mechanic until you have gotten hydraulic fluid (sky kill) in your eye, and had your arm in a dirty lavatory tank up to your shoulder. FLY NAVY!!!

I’m a woman (who also happens to be in the aviation industry currently), and I don’t even understand why everyone is pushing for women to be in every industry. What’s the huge payoff or benefit? If the individual is fit for the job, than that’s that - they’re fit for the job. I just don’t get the dire need/desire for women in different male dominated fields, and no one ever explains the why beyond an emotional answer of something like, “We need women so they can inspire other women and show them they can do it, too!” …Okay, but why should I care? What are women bringing to the table that men aren’t or can’t in the industry? Maybe women just naturally aren’t into the same careers as men - that makes sense to me, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Actually, there are a lot of benefits to having a diverse workplace! Studies show that diversity increases not only innovation and decision making, which are especially important in aviation, but also creativity and profit (I tried to link the articles I used but it deleted my last comment. You can look up Forbes' "3 Benefits of Diversity in the Workplace" and Washington State University's "10 Benefits of Diversity in the Workplace" Not to mention the impact that diversity can have. I know you said you didn't want an emotional response, but personally it matters that a more diverse industry will lead to sexism and mysoginy becoming way less normalized, and even thought there way still be a gap between the number of men and women, I'd like to see how small that gap becomes when young girls are shown they can be welcomed and succesful in a "masculine" job. I'm sure that if aviation was soley made up of men it wouldn't be any less succesful, but if there's proof that it can benefit not only the companies but also the employees, why shouldn't it be something we focus on?

We are accepting international students for our A&P mechanic program. You’ll need to live here, in Utah, for the maintenance training. If you’d like more information on the program, you can contact us at aviation@suu.edu or at 435-586-7862

We provide aircraft maintenance training in both airplanes and helicopters. When you graduate you will be eligible for your Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) Certifications, which allows you to work on aircraft in most countries around the world. The program is designed to take 18 months. Our A&P program costs about $45k including tuition fees. You’ll also have an accredited associate’s degree from SUU, which will give you an edge in getting competitive jobs. Should you later decide to continue your education at SUU, you’ll be close to earning a bachelor’s degree in our Aviation Administration and Leadership Degree.

@SUUAviation I have worked overseas and would have to disagree with you regarding most countries where aviation companies will accept/ recognize the A/P certificate. I know of many that will and only recognize/accept the CAA certificate for employment.

I notice you never mention realistic salaries. 100$K-200$K, No. Why I left the industry and ended up in electric power. The 100$K was achieved years ago in power generation. Aviation, a regional offered me $12/hr to move my family states away. While I was making $25 in power production. Why I'm still in power generation. Aviation. $20/hr. Good luck. I tried to stay, but low low pay.

I'm in the Navy about to get out and become a contractor working f-18s for the Marines (most likely). I'm interested in what you're saying. What types of qualifications or certifications do you need to get into the power generation field? Honestly I want to follow the money to provide for my family.

@@ShogunEthix You have gas turbine experience I surmise. Many peaking power plants are gas turbines. Also pipe line pumping stations. Some combined cycle stations use gas turbines and the exhaust is used to create steam for a steam turbine. I ended up in hydro turbines and large diesels. No glory, no glamor. You won't get rich, but pays better than general aviation work by far. The point is to provide for your family. My opinion. 32 years in power industry. The goof who complained about getting dirty? Don't come to power production if your afraid of getting dirty. Some days we come off shift looking worse than coal miners. (scares off the week).

Those are realistic numbers. Delta is starting at $40 currently and you top out at $55 an hour after 5 years. If you pick up a lead role it increases to $68 I believe. You also receive profit-sharing which can be upwards of 20%.
