cmgogo Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 well not really velo, thing you gotta remember is he has job security, usually when you work for the major players (sikorsky, bell, lockheed, etc) you only have the position for 6mo-2 or 3 years unless its a major fabrication project (new airframes), if your doing modifications or repairs usually they cycle employees based on the time frame of the job. About the only exception to that rule is boeing, but all of their fab work is factory based, and A&Ps usually are not hired for that work since they are "over qualified". With municipal airports they tend to have a wide array of serviceable tenant aircraft as well as the occasional transient repair, and odds are he is going to know 3/4 of the tenant aircraft's owners by the end of the first year, and he will be doing their FAA inspects. A word of advice if you are going to be working there for a while (5+ years) is to get your pilots license so you can go on check rides with the owners to trouble shoot in flight gripes that you can not reproduce on the ground, odds are you will get a pretty hefty pay bump (the pay difference for flying A&Ps and ground A&Ps at a few of the spots i worked was 10-15 an hour.)

cmgogo Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 gulfstream = $$$$, yeah you should be making bank if your mainly doing gulf stream maint. Beware of their service manuals tho, alot of them say "Take a picture to aid in reassembly, base torque values from removal". Always hated that. If you ever get a chance to work on a SSj30 tho be warned that EVERY rivet, structural or skins is a wet fastner, hell even the hiloks were, ever buck a wet titanium rivet? it sucks! and that 38 was when i was working for sino sweriggen as a sheet metal fabricator on the forward section (raw assembly of all forward structures, that was a asston of raw stock to bend!) But all in all, if you dont mind jacking your back every day, filling out paperwork for 4+ hours on 1 hour worth of work, its worth it, I know i miss parts of it, but I just burnt out from doing the contractor shuffle every 6 months to a year.

Velocifero Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I think dominos is bangin now that they reformulated everything. That crust is delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 it's garlic oil butter. it stays at room temperature. it is pretty much just the same "non trans-fat" butter oil we use in the first place but has breadstick seasoning in it all mixed up. you put it on after the pizza is out of the oven. it goes on like a very nasty paste. then melts into a disgusting butter crap frack all over the pizza. the cheese smells like crap when it's uncooked. i've worked in about 9 domino's pizza stores picking up shifts any time i was needed or needed more hours. they all disregard most expiration dates. the no-wait ready-to-go pizzas are disgusting. thats not all, but i dont want to talk about how i wasted 4 years of my life.

Nothing you can say will change how delicious their pizza is. I've seen "Waiting" a bunch of times and i bussed tables for 6 months so I know what goes on. Dominos = pizza goodness.
