Sooooooo.. This might be a rumor, but... I heard these managers talking and they said we were like 100 mechanics short on the flightline? How is this possible? Anyone got the inside CNN story?

Airplanes On Ground or AOG is who keeps the planes going. Flight line needs 100 people because there large amount of Non-Working Entourage sitting at the computers for an excess amount of time in all those dog houses. Much of the time, they don't want to be in the cold. The wind is always blowing hard out there. Flight line always looks abandoned out there. You see a few people here and there. Go inside any of those dog houses and there like 25 to 30 people sitting at computers in everyone. In everyone of those dog houses there is a manager, QA's, and a Team leed. Watch out for that one in the dog house located in the second stall away from the runway airplane entrance. Back in the corner. He so Gung Ho He is a Kick your A– manager.
Yes, flightline mechanics are considered high skilled labor.
Most of them are holding FAA A&P, IA, FCC... They can do preflight, post flight inspection, flight squawks rework, release airplanes for flight... without them airplanes can’t fly.
Get a FAA A&P certificate (license) and transfer to flightline, you guaranteed not going to get layoff.
If they are 200 people short, they will layoff 200 people to makeup fo it
What program?? I know the 777X the rate is going down to half an airplane a month. They cutting a lot of people in different areas. Plus it’s delayed till 2023
