I work in Line Service at Executive Beechcraft at SUS, and I think its a good job for an aspiring professional pilot. I have been able to meet and talk to a lot of pilots. We also have a charter department so I would think me working in line service will help me get my foot in the door if I wanted to go that route. I won't be here much longer though hopefully. I should have my CFI in about a month and Im hoping the place I have done my training at from day 1 will hire me.
I did. We were called "line boys" then. Now, I think the term is "Line Service Technician", or something to that affect. This world is becoming too P.C. for me.
