TG I'll keep you in mind if they start looking for mechanics here at boeing in St. louis building F-18s and F-15s if you would like to move a little south.

Heavy checks. We're one of two American Eagle maintenance bases that handle the Embraer jets. They used to handle ATR 42 & 72, but switched to Embraers. The ATR's went to other maintenance bases, but there are strong rumors they will be returning here. We will keep doing Embraers in addition to the ATR's if it happens. I suspect something is in the works since they have hired about 18 mechanics or "soon will be" mechanics like me since the first of the year. It sort of sounds like they are ramping up for "something".

If you're refering to the guys sitting at the desks in front of the computers, those are the crew chiefs. They enter the work orders and make the job assignments.

....congrats
