It helps to have at least an Associate degree with some emphasis on the Air Traffic System.

By not going with your dad to work and asking if you can have a go ;D ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

#1: Military (Mainly the USAF)
#2: College CTI program
#3: Luck of the draw in off the street hiring.

I've tried 2/3 of these so far. Unfortunately the military didn't like me very much so I don't have much experience there. I'm in a community college right now getting my GPA back up for Arizona State so I can get back into the CTI program.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me or, just ask them here, here you'll have a much broader experience base for the answer however.  8-)
