Congratulations on working on the big ones. I was an A&P mechanic for a few years and had time in the AirForce. This brings back memories only your plane is larger.
Just got my first aviation job at a MRO while getting my AMT certs. I am learning so much so fast. Once I get a job at an airline I feel like im going to be prepared. It makes me even more excited when I watch these videos.
Respect to you gents . Having turned wrenches on automobiles in a former life, really respect Aviations techs as there is pulling over on the side of the road if something is missed. Respect again and keep up the great work. Love the Snapon creeper , have on in my garage
Thanks for sharing brother, it's good to show the flying public what goes on behind the seams of an AMT technician. I've been in the industry for about 30 years now and done just about everything, I'm now a flight mechanic so feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for sharing ✈️
My son is going to Liberty University next year and will get his A&P certificate and associates degree. He's also been working at a flight academy doing ground work, attending BOCES getting some flying hours, and just loves being around planes. He doesn't have any maintenance experience so what kind of advice can you give? Also what kind of salary does a mechanic make? Where is the best salary? Thank you.
I’m living through your videos. My life took me away from aircraft engineering 2 different times; however I love it so much. Great to see your videos sir!
I spent 7 years when I was young working for a major carrier the realties of being a mechanic was certainly different you have to have a love for it, I grew out of that love I went into the computer field but do like watching these videos
Since you said A&P, I'm assuming that you are in the United States. Listen very closely to what I'm going to tell you. DO NOT allow your instructors, school, or any recruiters to talk you into wasting your time at a commuter, MRO, or general aviation job. They pay half as much and expect twice as much work. There is a real mechanic shortage. All of the major airlines have waived the 2 years experience rule. We are hiring kids directly from school with no experience. Get your license, be prepared to move, and apply directly to the major of your choice. We will teach you how to work on real airplanes. I cannot stress enough how important seniority is. Every single day makes a difference. Your location, shift, days off, vacation time, premium jobs, and schools are all bid by seniority. Everything is ruled by seniority. Do not waste time "getting experience" at these other places. They will promise signing bonuses and free tools because they can't compete with major airline pay. The only thing they can do is rob you of seniority. I speak from experience and 35 years of seniority at AA.
I’m glad i stumbled across your video I am currently going to school to get my A&P license so this is giving me a perspective of what i am going to be doing once i get into the field.
Great video fellow airman. A&P here. Started with Regionals then went Gov contractor on C17 engines (PW 2000). Working back shop/overhaul beats Flightline Mx …lol
Look it's a CSeries! Great video to service the generator. I just stopped working on flight test aircrafts 50002 and 55001. I was at the beginning in 2013 with the first flight of 50001. I was the lead mechanic on 50003 for a few years. Great aircraft! It's too bad Bombardier couldn't make it work out. Airbus has made a great effort with them. P&W just needs to get their issues worked out. Oh the stories about these aircraft.
Interesting video as a safety guy may I suggest a good pair of safety glasses especially around fling bits and chemicals just a thought brave a blessed day good job on the maintenance as well
Thanks Peter for the video. I am watching the first part right now and thought I should comment now. I am glad you have excellent vision and don't need glasses but I hope you will at least wear safety glasses to protect your vision. I am retired right now after working for the airlines for 41 years. It was great. Since you really need to be strong physically, I could not keep up right now. Most of my career was working as a Sheet Metal Mechanic so if you know of anyone that does that work and needs tools I would be willing to sell for basically the same price I paid for them which was from Boeing Surplus in Kent, WA.. Keep up the great work. You will be working for some airline soon if you desire that.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. One request is that you increase the volume of your voice over. It is drowned out by the ambient noise in the background and your music tracks.
Are you done yet. How about now. Is it going outside today. Why not. Hurry up. QA found some panels in the panel book without OK to close & they are closed now. Need to rob that widget for the line ASAP. 30 years as an A & P-now retired. Have fun. And ALWAYS-cover yer 6.
American Airlines is currently 10 paid holidays, 6 weeks vacation, and earn 10 sick days per year with a cap of 1500 hours build up. Once off of probation, you can get a swap partner and set your own schedule. A lot of guys work a swap schedule of double double single to get 4 days off per week.
Hello . I am an intern in an airline as AE technician. I am passionate and a hard worker but I am unable to get the recognition I deserve as my fellow interns do. From my point of view with all honesty I put equal effort as them . Guide me on how to overcome that as I feel it’s more of personal character of someone maybe
I would say don't focus on recognition , you can't control how people feel about you but you can control how much knowledge you enquire . focus more on learning , increasing you hand skills and also creating more value that more company are looking for . so that way you can have more option. if you have more question you can reach out to me on instagram @peterjanded . and we can have a conversation on there
Been a CAA/EASA licensed engineer for almost forty years and have done it all seen it all it’s the most crap job going. Experience means nothing in this industry and for the most part you are treated like shit stay well away is my advice.
Would like to hear about some of the downfalls of the job because every profession has its mundane parts.... Ya this part is nothing more than a glorified Jiffy Lube oil change but there is more to the job in other areas I would hope.
No doubt your supervisor would not want you working with one hand while you video with the other, so put the camera down and concentrate on the job using both hands just like you have been trained. You're working on an aircraft not a sack barrow, people's lives are at risk if you don't do this correctly..
I'd be super worried to board a plane knowing that the maintenance guy was busy wrenching the plane with a camera on his other hand for some youtube crap. That's ain't right

That the best route to go . I did the same thing . Started off working with an MRO which helped me a lot . You’d find line maintenance more easier .
@@peterjanded can you tell what are the MROs here in Ontario? and do they hire students?
@@peterjandedhow is the pay ? How high do the pay go up ? Was it hard getting on or did you have to know someone?
What is MRO if I may ask?
Love seeing our young men with quality trade and skills.. jobs, hard-working and not idle.
I appreciate it

How come u stopped was it difficult if u don’t mind sharing I was planning on starting school soon for aircraft maintenance

I appreciate your concern.. safety always
Love yr video!
I apprentice it .
Great maintenance job with responsibility. Please make more videos and post on RUclips for beginners aircraft engineers acquire practical skills.
yes I will definitely .
That's looking like Bay 10. I retired out of that place in 2019 before the A220 showed up.
Good luck my brother on your journey as an A&P
Appreciate it 🙏🏿
that's literally my dream, to be an aircraft mechanic one day : )
you've gat this
curious about the working environment during summer. Winter looks pretty comfy
Summer time always the best . Nice hot windy winter ..
Love it, you are inspirational, keep it up !
I appreciate it a lot 🙏🏿🙏🏿
keep killing it brother!
I appreciate brother 🦾🙏🏿🙏🏿
as soon as i saw the cockpit i knew you're working with A220 (C-Series). I'm an avionics from A220 Flightline in mobile for A220
i know right ,. i love everything about this aircraft
good video, thanks but some verbal audio would have been nice.
yes I did have but I got copy right for some background music . but next video will be better
Why you are not turning batteries on first and after that GPU???
Wondered the same thing.
Don’t you depressurize it before taking the plug out? Btw, what’s the difference between a VFG and IDG?
Great video. Thanks for sharing. One request is that you increase the volume of your voice over. It is drowned out by the ambient noise in the background and your music tracks.
thanks for the suggestion , I will definitely fix it in next videos
Just wondering if you had taken Human Factors in Aircraft Maintenance? Do you think what you are doing could be a distraction?
Sorry Peter about my previous comment on safety glasses as I now see you are wearing safety glasses.
Safety first always
My dream career growing up. Didn't follow that dream...chose a different career path: construction. What an error 😢
it not late to start !! you've. gat this
You didn’t show how you was suppose to safety wire it back up 😮
safety wire was done . didn't get on camera
Is Aircraft Structure Mechanic a good job?
Yes it is .
SOS on the lubricants?
Are you done yet. How about now. Is it going outside today. Why not. Hurry up. QA found some panels in the panel book without OK to close & they are closed now. Need to rob that widget for the line ASAP.
30 years as an A & P-now retired. Have fun. And ALWAYS-cover yer 6.
I am 3rd year High School Student and soon to be a aircraft mechanic 😁😁

Sorry about that. next video the Audio quality will improve .
Unbelievable how quite these turbines are on idle
Really liked the video. It was kinda had to hear your voiceover.
appreciate it. . ill improve the audio quality next videos .
In your next video, show all the paperwork involved for the aircraft records for doing what you did.
How many paid vacation days do you guys get each year? Also what's the benefits on being an Air Canada AME?
Everything is on the company website .
Major US Airline. 7 weeks' vacation, 7 holidays, 12 sick days.
American Airlines is currently 10 paid holidays, 6 weeks vacation, and earn 10 sick days per year with a cap of 1500 hours build up. Once off of probation, you can get a swap partner and set your own schedule. A lot of guys work a swap schedule of double double single to get 4 days off per week.

Remember to pit the bolts in the door., working as he listened to little Wayne. Won't fly again
GET to DAVOS...BLINKIN needs HELP.
hey I am currently studying at centennial college. its my 1st year in aircraft maintenance and management.
Oh nice . Wishing you success

Surgeons do brain surgery and film it
@@brianhume4743 With forehead-mounted camera usually. I'm a doctor FYI!
I was thinking the same thing 😅
Totally agree, I guess he hasn’t had the human factors in aircraft maintenance training.
Did you know that the average aircraft mechanic drinks more alcohol per year than the entire state of California?
Probably right up there with machinists. Very detailed, high stress work that needs to be done as fast as possible is a solid path towards alcoholism.
