Every aviation company that I have worked for went bankrupt. Every Hangar I ever worked in now sits empty. I gave aviation 15 years, the last seven at Delta. When they left DFW, enough was enough. I have since found jobs that are much cleaner and easier, with better pay. I want prospective mechanics to know that this career can be a meat grinder. Someday the industry will bottom and rebuild but its not there yet. No need for newcomers pursuing a fools errand. This is coming from a mechanic that later learned to fly, not a pilot that was interested in wrenching. Completely different people.
