Question

What do you know about the aviation industry ?

Answer 1

Things are going on at alarming pace.

New operators are mushrooming.

In the presenet scenario passengers safety is prime concern.

It seems no one is concerned in this vital parameter. Commercial interest rules the fleet.

Answer 2

Well...In Long Beach a major aircraft manufacturer and its mildly popular union (acronym for Unidentified A** Wipe) laid off hundreds upon hundreds of its Union members and replaced them with non union people off the street.(some admittedly from North Vietnam). ...a company secretary had a brain f*rt and later completely bypassed one large group hired seven yrs before these new aviation experts and gave another batch of superlative employees of seven yrs only one year of union seniority...  ..the newly acquired assemblers  got paid a little less for the same work and the company got the bob bitchen award from the General Office. ...thus defying seventy years of union philosophy and contracts...still unexplained....other than that.....not much....What is your next question?

Answer 5

I know it is recovering from one of the worst episodes in history.  I know that my benefits, pay and such have been cut at a time when upper managements are loading their pockets with cash.  I also know that if I had known 25 years ago what I know now, I would have gone into the nuclear business.

Answer 10

In the aviation industry you will become more aware of who is who. For instance, if you're in a room full of people the pilots are easy to pick out because they are busy telling everyone that they are a pilot.

I didn't quite make the cut as a pilot. I passed with flying colors but when it came time for my flight physical the doc gave me the bad news saying that my ding dong is too big to be a pilot. So I took his advice & got my A&P.

Answer 14

Sort of like the question "How Long is a Piece of Rope".

What exactly is your question?

Answer 15

You need to rephrase this and be more precise.

I am sure you will get your answer, if you ask a question to the point.

If you are looking for general info then it is on Internet and in the library.

Jane's Air Craft book comes out every year and it has lots of info on Air craft and Aviation Industry.

Hint :

1. Go to a library at non rush hours and ask the people on duty to show you and explain you the filling system so you can find "Info"  readily.

2. Visit an airport near you and browse. Pick up some literature.

3. Some Air craft factories give guide tours.

4. If you wish to be a pilot or an Aerospace Engineer then do a search on Internet.

5. Your high school may have lots of info and may have carrier guidance officer.

6. Air lines have their magazines and they are free for asking, then find a mail out inside it and fill it out and you will get the magazine free of charged delivered to you.
