I am the same. My first year was a line guy at a small FBO, the only one on the airport. I was also the janitor, repair guy for all of our equipment, etc. After a year I moved on to a large FBO at a bigger airport, and that's where I currently work. I enjoy the fact that we have good equipment and that I am not responsible for everything that happens. I don't enjoy the schedule, not at all.

I have gained more experience working line, and I also got some great opportunities (made connections and ended up with a scholarship for my flight training). I have also had lots of frustration over having to work an irregular schedule covering all parts of the day and night, and the fact that as a 24/7/365 FBO I do not get holidays off.

But it has prepared me for the rest of my career. I am used to the weird schedule now, and although I may not like it, I have learned to deal with it. I know how corperate and fractional aviation works, I have a better understanding of ground handling than most pilots I meet, and I have two solid years of quality experience to add to my resume for whatever job I choose to persue.
