Had a room mate that was an airplane mechanic. He was dead bored of it after a few years. He'd

and the paper work took twice as long as any repair. It had to be, didn't it? Corrosion on the wing

reckoned that if you could weld half decently then you could pick up a job as an aircraft mechanic
fairly easily. Damn good money though.
