Nice! What a job (if it can be called that )

I just applied at McGee Tyson Airport in Knoxville TN, 20 + years building cabinets I want a change of pace
Might be lower pay but looks to be more fun!

COOL!!!

I love the first shot! You have some amazing shots around here. Please submit to Airlines.net!!

Awsome shots silver! Real close to the action!

Shot one: those 'r some small sticks for that big bird...

Shot two: Hunter and it's pray... Seems there was an awfull lot of time between the first and the second shot. The passengers were provided some food during this no?  

Just kidding you. It looks like fun running about that airport all day. My girlfriend used to work at our national airport (EBBR). She'd only have to ask " can you come..." and i'd be in my car already racing towards it...

Anyhow! Have fun working there Silver!



Oh, and PS: A dork to me is someone not willing to work, sitting on his ass watching tv all day long, expecting to get paid social security-money raised by hard working people like us. You don't seem to comply with that!

**THUMP** "Hey, anybody seen Fred??"

You'r such a lucky man silver!! I want a job like that!! Of course I'd rather be in the cockpit!!

Great photos Silver. I am just waiting for everything to sort itself out and i shall be applying for a job like that here.

Well then you have some time.  You will have plenty of time to work for an airline before being a pilot for them can even become a reality due to your age.    Seriously, get in and learn the business as soon as you can by getting a job with an airline (which most airlines, would be when you turn 18 ).  Especially a company like Southwest where they promote from within the company.  They don't really consider it a corporate latter where all you can do is move up.  Southwest gives employees the freedom to move up, down, left, right...whatever.  It's nice to have your foot in the door...even if the door is only cracked open...it still a slight edge.  Southwest has pilots that started as rampers.  Southwest also has rampers that are millionaires.  In a competative field, it helps to network and make connections.  While there are plenty of ways and places to meet people and make connections, the access you have as an airline employee offers one of the best ways I can think of.

I wish more people with an interest in aviation would work for airlines.  You'd be surprised...most people I work with are only there because it's a job..nothing more, nothing less.  There's only a handful of guys that actually know, and care about airplanes and a couple  that are like myself and there to either move up to pilot, or mechanic jobs.
