Aamp;P Mechanic question in West Virginia? -

Is there a demand for A P in West Virginia? Do they get a good pay? If so how much? Any details would help.

Anywhere you have planes, either in service or being built, there will be a need for a certified aircraft and power plant mechanic. I checked some sites in WV and didn t see too many compared to California, Arizona, Chicago, New York, St. Louis and Atlanta.Do they get good pay?Yes they do. Low end is around $17/hr. High end specialist job shoppers can approach $75/hr.When times are good and aircraft sales are up you can work for someone like Boeing and make good money. I think when Boeing gets the bugs worked out of their Dreamliner 787 they will be clamoring for A-P mechanics. They are behind schedule and will play catch up, which means overtime and lots of work. That s just an example.Private airlines hire A-P mechanics who are familiar with the types of planes and engines they use. If an airlines uses Boeing 757 s with Pratt Whitney engines and you know that plane well, then you have a shot at a job with them.The only drawback about WV is it s lack of airports and aircraft fabrication facilities.I worked in aircraft tooling and did aircraft technical writing for 20 years. Any job relating to getting and keeping planes in the air pays decently.Learn blueprint reading ANSI Y14.5 it will help you greatly.

Review about Rooms101.com website? -

Has anyone taken any of the package offers from Rooms101.com? Is it a reliable authentic website? I am planning to book my trip through it and couldnt find any review about the website?

Never heard of it. Try booking directly with the hotel like Excalibur that has great deals right now
