For any of you interested in what it is I actually do during my job I will give you a chronological list of how my day goes.
7:00 - I wake up
7:45 - I arrive at work.
8:00 - Roll call
8:15 - I get my toolbox, get on the truck, and I go dick around on whatever plane they drop me off at. And by dick around I mean we sit there till we locate the problem in the TO, fill out the proper forms, and then go to work.
12:00 roughly - Lunch time!
2:30 - Go back to dickin’ around.
7:00 - I come back from the jet, take time for the jobs, write in the log book, do whatever needs to be done to be sure to have covered my ass for that day.
7:30 - 8:00 - I go home.
This schedule is for my 12 hour shifts that I am currently working till the 25th
That sounds like a super-long day. How long do you work when you’re not doing 12 hour shifts?
