Hi Guys,
Been lurking for about a week now since I found a link here from another forum and found that this place had what looks like a great line service section.
Been looking to change careers for a little while now and signed up to join the FAA as a Controller but that's about as up in the air as the space shuttle right now with the recession in place.
When I got fired last summer I took a little $14 an hour tech job at an arcade but the kids are animals and i had to repair over 20 games today out of 130. I think I would rather fuel airplanes than deal with the brats, liars and constant complaints from people who didn't get their jackpots.
Back on topic; I live on Staten Island and I've already sent a resume to Jet Aviation at Teterboro via their website but I was wondering what more I should do. I read a few of the other topics but they were from back when we weren't dead in the middle of the recession.
So, Should I bother going to Teterboro and just walking in the door with a resume and expect anything in this climate? Anyone got any link at Newark? I did the whole "go find out who controls the ramp" but I can't seem to figure it out and there are about 150 airlines out of Newark and they're in dire straights so I don't expect much. I'm also thinking about Morristown and Caldwell but I was hoping to get ATC jobs at those (they are a bit far) but anything that gets me in the same airport as the guys who can get me into the tower is good by me.
I would absolutely love a full time line job. I make $14 an hour but it's only 5 hours in the morning (go in, fix the games and leave at 12) and even a full time $14 an hour job would be a 60% raise for me (plus I don't get tips, let alone $20 ones that I would shine a shoe to get).
basically, I'm desperate enough that if it has a good chance of working at teterboro, let me know how the manager likes his coffee and I'll be there on my day off (wendesdays and thursdays) with a resume and his favorite blend in my hand.
Any other tips are very much welcome and I love all the information this one site has given me; I think I got more info here than anywhere else on the internet about line service.
