My company has an immediate need to fill aircraft mechanic positions in various cities in Maryland, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida. These jobs are mostly contract work with some temp-to-perm opportunities. Contract jobs pay competitive wages with very generous per diem.

I see TSA is in the news again, that's, Tit Squeezers of America, seems more females simply don't like being felt up. Makes ya wonder what would be going on if the Russkys had said those folks had hidden their explosives internally.
