I feel like B.S.'ing...

You're an aviation technician Ski? That sentence has good reasoning (explanation) a long with a conclusion, and implies that you are (at least your readers will think so)

You figure that one out by yourself did ya?

Hey Trent
Have you read skimask's public profile, Yep, I would say he is an AV TECH.

Pretty close. Especially since all my profile has in it is all acronyms and a picture

Gee whiz aye -- that must be a considerably high paying job, I'd also imagine that you'd need to have some serious credentials (especially in America) Unlike a motor vehicle, there's no second chances with an aircraft if a fault occurs due to malpractice on the technician's part (the thing's just going to crash, you can't exactly just pull over to the side of the road) This is my reasoning for saying that it's a high paying job that would require a certain type of person with the appropriate credentials.

Credentials don't mean squat without integrity.

I have a good friend that is what I call a Harrier mechanic. 20 some years in the Marine Corps.
Yes, he has credentials out the you know what. As far as the type of person to work on these things...Attention to detail, enjoys reading data sheets and manuals, has a protocol for every thing and expects everyone else to also. So much so that he can be a real pain at times but you over look this. They know all to well that there is not a second chance.
The guys and gals that keep these birds in the air for us are are perfectionist, could not be any other way.

And I get double the pain out of it since I'm a private pilot myself, whereas the overwhelming majority of the people I work with aren't. A lot of those people think 'good enough' is 'good enough', especially the young kids I'm training. When something like that comes along, I ask them if they want to fly with the bird and see if the fix is good enough, or if I get to write a letter to their parents and explain why this kid is dead. Morbid...but fact...

Exactly. Someone doesn't fit the profile for it.

Profile this...

If I get your meaning and from what I have seen, I have to disagree.

Thanks for the vote...not sure if I deserve it, but thanks.

Don't worry with Trent.. i think he have a way too high self-esteem...maybe he think he's just over everybody... common attitude with some existing, newbs or wannabe IEEE.
Oh well at least there's a cure for it... euthanasia.. but it seems to be illegal in most country
I'M JUST KIDDING..

I know that, most of us know that, somebody doesn't know that.

Not at all. There's people on here much smarter than me.

In the words of Dr.Evil... Riiiiiiiight...

Yeah, you are correct, its just that where I come from we are taught to respect our servicemen and women.

Don't know if I (me in particular) deserve any special accolades, haven't done anything really neato-important-yadda-yadda. I got a handful of last-minute quick fixes, saved a load of $$$ a few times by discovering this, that or the other thing (got one really good story that involves about 3 pages of math in small print to discover 2 swapped wires that saved 2 engine changes in the middle of an important thingy), other than that, quite frankly it's been a relative 9-5 job for 20+ years now. Like they say, 99.9% boredom with a sprinkling of .1% excitement.

You know what -- I'd love to have your level of expertise with PBP, but I certainly wouldn't want your level of maturity.

Don't worry, you're still in school, right? I'm sure they teach it.

Now then, where's my can-coozy? 15F outside, cold enough for a bonfire and a choice beverage...and think about how to keep that 33 cell NiMH pack charged up reliably...
