Agreed. I work in the aviation industry and it's pretty much true. A similar job getting the same pay for less work would be a lineman at a smaller company at a small airport. ie: Georgia jet landmark aviation. Fuel planes chock them help with baggage. Other than that you get paid to sit arround and shoot the shit. Your in an office or hanger out of the weather. Some places offer full benefits. You get more hours. And you get the same pay if not more. If I remember correctly when landmark out of lzu was hiring linemen the pay was 15.75 an hour plus full benefits.
