Default C-172 $20 / hour! C-210 $30 / hour! I found my new job...


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.
