Aircraft Mechanic / supervisor
30 Years 1 Month
Alaska Airlines | 09.1990 - 10.2020
My career with Alaska Airlines spanned 30 years. My date of hire was Sept. 4th 1990 and I retired on Sept. 30th 2020. I started work for Alaska airlines as a sheetmetal mechanic in heavy check, repairing frames, stringers and fabricating fuselage Skin repairs on the MD-80, Boeing 727 and 737 series aircraft. I worked off of mig 4's (inspection write ups) engineering orders.
I moved to the powerplant division and worked on aircraft systems. powerplant systems, flight controls, landing gears, pneumatic systems, hydraulic systems, taxied aircraft to the run up pad to perform vibration engine surveys and had the proper weight added or removed from the L-1 disk in heavy check. Working off of inspection write ups, time sensitive maintenance checks, task cards when the aircraft was in for 'C' or a 'D' check.
Accepted lead mechanic position in 2010, specializing in rigging flight controls and doors until transitioning to supervisor in 2014. Participated in company tie-in meetings to plan shift goals, coordinated job assignments with lead mechanics, and tracked job progress in shift log, documenting ongoing, completed, and initiated tasks during base checks. Alaska Airlines at this time decided to outsource their heavy base check work. I was then transferred to hangar line where aircraft like Boeing 737 classic and next gen. as well as the Airbus 319, 20, and 21 series would be brought down to free up gate space and would require more time troubleshooting and repair work.
