In the aviation world, flights are the number one priority regardless of clime or place. That means be it rain, sleet, snow, hail, or all four at once, flights must happen. With that said, sometimes the weather doesn’t play nice and your flight is sitting there parked on the flight line hopelessly waiting for nature to let up on its wrath so you can fly away. This means that we as aircraft mechanics must likewise stand there, taking the brunt of nature, rethinking our life decisions, and fulfilling some of the dumbest requests to include fetching hot coffee for the aircrew (yes this happens)! Crap weather and coffee are best enjoyed indoors!
From the creators of the Cancelled for Maintenance Podcast comes a series where we take a comedic, behind-the-scenes look into the gritty, non-glamorous life of aircraft maintenance.
Aircraft maintenance is an extremely rewarding, but very taxing profession. It takes a very driven person to take up this career and excel in it. It has its very low points but has its very high ones as well. Follow along with our three main mechanics and their friends as they deal with the highs and lows to keep planes flying.
