I went from not being able to find any jobs a few weeks ago to getting two interviews last week. Persistence pays off I guess. Anyway, I was just curious about what you guys thought of my options between these two jobs (nothing involves actually being a pilot unfortunately). To be honest I'm leaning towards the second option.
One choice is working at the Mooney factory in some capacity involving the maintenance and production of aircraft. Specifically what I would be doing I'm not yet sure. The advantages to this job are that I could live at home (free rent), very short commute (we live less that 2-3 miles away from the mooney factory), and have mooney on my resume. The disadvantages to this job are that it would be purely temporary, I'd have to resign in 3 months and go back to school, and I couldn't work on more ratings this summer since this job is a 2 hour drive from my flight school.
My other choice is working the line at a major chain FBO at AUS. Advantages here are that I could work on my mult-engine rating at the same time since my flight school is at AUS, I get to live on my own, I may lay some good networking groundwork, and I could also continue working here once school started. Disadvantages are that I'd have to find a place to live and pay rent and I'm sure the tarmac isn't the most inviting place during the 100 degree heat.
Just curious to find out if you guys think that turning down mooney for the job as a lineman is a smart move or not.
