It depends on where you live and how skilled you are as well as the employer. For a good start, you ought to check out salary.com, you can type a career such as Aircraft mechanic and then enter a zip code and it will give you a free range of salaries for that position for that city.

Answer 3

Pay can range from $13.00 to $35.00 per hour depending on where you work and your experience level. There has been a down turn in pay for the last 10 years as airlines were the highest paying jobs but the consumers need for cheap tickets have had a downward effect on pay as CEO's have targeted unionized labor as the cause of higher labor costs. Many A&P mechanics have left the field for other endeavors as they pay just as high without the liability involved with aviation maintenance. One of the biggest roadblocks to higher pay has been that aviation mechanics are classified as unskilled or semi-skilled labor by the US Department of Labor while auto mechanics are classified as skilled.
