![]() As graduation and my career as an A&P (hopefully with paid flying combined) draws nearer, which should be in August or slightly earlier, I have been putting out some "feelers" for work. Who's nearby in central Texas, what do they do, what would I make, benefits etc... There are 2 "big" places for mechanics & A&Ps in Waco, L3 Communications and RAM Aircraft. L3 does mostly rebuilds & mods on P3 Orions & other big military & civilian aircraft, RAM, as some of you know, does mostly mods on GA Cessna twins. I have heard quite a few pros & cons on both places, as well as some cons from former employees regarding RAM Aircraft. Yesterday, however, I heard that RAM has at least three Cessnas available to employee pilots for rental, a 172, a 210 and, I believe, a 206. The 172 goes for $20 an hour! The 210, $30 an hour (I believe), and the 206 I'm not sure but is also probably dirt cheap. These rental prices are WET! I gather that RAM does this as an employee benefit. Wow. Forget my income and insurance! $20 for a new 172! (New meaning since production resumed) I think I know where I'm going to be applying! Another thing about RAM is that my interest falls mostly in GA anyway rather than in big commercial aviation or transports, jets, etc. Is there anywhere else that you have heard of that offers their pilots and/or mechanics ultra-cheap rental (or even free) use of aircraft as an employee insentive or benefit? Just curious as that sounds like a great idea to offer as an employee benefit. Ricky |
