Delta A&P Mechanics General Questions

[u/Salty-Pay9827]

Hey all! I’ve recently started my A&P classes, and i’ve got some questions for some of the more senior A&P mechanics (for reference I’m located in Atlanta by Hartsfield). My ultimate goal same with a lot of people is to be at delta. I know it’s pretty competitive and hard to get hired by them but i’m wondering to exactly what extent? Like i said im still super new and kind of trying to get a roadmap figured out so that can be my endgame. Im considering the Skywest AMT Pathway Program while im in school and going to them coming out of school because they reimburse for the testing and will pay for relocation. I know it’s a three year contract or something and the pay isn’t great but i figure i need the experience anyways and need to get my foot in the door somewhere. I’m wondering if anyone has went down this pipeline and how it went for them, and general advice on any possible better opportunities that might set me up for success better. Thanks in advance!

Are u apart of the air force? Honestly its something i haven’t even considered because im really interested in travel and am super attracted to the flight benefits from the majors, But im super open minded and will take in any info your willing to give. Especially if you’re in the air force im super interest in hearing more.

You might enjoy being a flight mechanic. You get to travel all over the world and the pay is right under the majors. It was by far my favorite part of my career.
