I work at the IASCO facility in Napa. I can tell you this:
The chief up in Redding came from Napa. He is a conscientious, fun, fair guy (used to be my boss). Redding has been open for about a year and seems to be ramping up pretty nicely. Started with 20 students and now they are to 70 from a couple different airlines. Mx is good. IASCO is a good company to work for in general. They have been around for a long time and there are a lot of quality people here. I don't know much about the pay or benefits (think it's around $17-$20 per hour). But the work is there if you want it. Overall, it'd be a good place to hang for a year or so to build experience and break even financially until something better comes along... Good luck!
