I was planning on getting into this pre-9/11, since my dad does it. Before 9/11 they were offering over 50/hr for NEW hires... so ya it was very tempting but then the ass dropped out after 2001 so not sure what it's like now... But it's a union job, so once your in, your in good heh.

i assume you are talking about a civilian company such as delta, united or somethign like that..the govt was not offering 50/hr for mechanics..i can guarantee you that...and the union is an option when working for DoD...the union can help to a degree but they still cant stop the govt from getting rid of you. but overall its pretty hard to get fired..you would have to do something really dumb to get fired from a civil service job
