  • What do you do for a living?

    Ok, well I was just wondering what we do for a living. I know that we have many that are in the Aviation Industry - but I am sure that there are some of us that don't. (I would love to, but can't.) So, what do you do? Do you like it? Why do you do it?

      Well...

      My "real" job is Director of Operations at ADI, which is the parent company of model manufacturer GeminiJets. We also handle the importation and distribution of 6 other model aircraft lines.

      My "main" job is running 6 websites, 4 of which are aviation-related (including this one). That keeps me far busier than my "real" job.

      I checked "yes" to working in the aviation industry, because I feel like I do. I don't, however, work in the airline industry, and would never, ever want to with the state that it's in today!

        I worked for two different airlines for a total of 41 years.

        Flying Tigers for 21 years. Ten years as an A&P, 6 years as a Lead Mechanic, 5 years as a supervisor of maintenance.

        FedEx for 20 years as a structures engineer.

        Currently on long term disability. I'll officially retire in January 2010.

        I ticked working in the industry even though I'm no longer active. I still get a paycheck from FedEx.

              I knew you looked familiar!

              As for me, I scare 70 people at a time for one of the Delta connection carriers. In fact, I need to go catch the hotel shuttle....seeya!

                I'm unemployed and living off money from the state, of which almost half is being spent on job applications and stuff related to that. And try finding a job in Germany without a completed apprenticeship. Doesn't matter that I have spent the past 5 years working in a store, serving customers and doing graphical work, as long as I don't have a state-issued sheet of paper that confirms that I did all this, 2/3 jobs are off-limit to me. (sorry for the rant)

                  Ambulance Paramedic.

                  The closest I get to aviation is flying around like a blue assed fly chasing response targets that are unachievable !
                  Do I sound cynical ?

                      I'm currently working as a call centre drone, for a distance learning (correspondence college) institution. I have thought of working in the airline industry, in the past. But I've given up that idea. Mostly because it's just too unstable these days. I'd still love to have a travel-related job, with a heavy emphasis on railways.

                        I work for Henry Schein Inc. www.Henryschein.com we are the world's largest distributor of health care equipment and supplies. I'm the North American Training Manager for Field Operations...hence I travel allot. Being that I travel for work I really have no desire to work in the aviation industry since I can enjoy it from a passenger’s standpoint.

                            I am a locksmith currently. Would love to get into the aviation industry though.

                              I work in management in a large forge shop. We make landing gear and some other assorted parts for planes but I wouldn't call what I do "working in the aviation industry"
