I know GD is good for this! 
Previously a USAF F-16 crew chief for 6.5 years, still want to do aircraft related work. My GI bill hasn't been tapped into yet. I'm going to get my A&P cert soon and would like to know what I should use the remainder of my GI bill on. 
Ready....go! |

Welding school? Luthiery? Women's studies? Do you already have a CCAF degree?
Mech cert with A&P rating is about as far as you can go in the maintenance field. Advancement from there is based on competence and work experience. Why not go for an operator rating. If you can fix 'em then you might as well learn to fly 'em. Or do what I did (former 2A353B), get a BA in History.

In all seriousness though, I understand what you mean with the certs and not going far with nothing else. I was looking at maybe something like Professional Aeronautics but was looking for some input. |

Ready....go! Looking to get into the avionics side of airline maintenance? My brother took a bunch of avionics classes to get his certifications the union accepted. Each one was worth several extra bucks an hour, even if he only manages the landing gear shop. |
