So after posting the previous post about my career, I thought I would share with you what Henry spends most of his time doing, when he is not spoiling me with first class flights to whereever I want to go....
Henry works for Skywest Airlines. As of Monday, he is officially a Supervisor for the GEM team, (Ground Equipment Maintenance). In english, basically he manages a bunch of mechanics. Ground equipment can be anything from de-ice trucks (that take the ice off of airplanes), to push-backs, (this pushes the plane away from the gate), to luggage carts, Bag Tugs, basically anything your eyes can see powered and non-powered on the ground except the planes at the airport.
Henry started working for Skywest in January as one of their mechanics. For the weeks after that Henry traveled daily to places like Billings, Montana, Pocatello & Twin Falls, Idaho, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and a few others. He would fix equipment at these airports and then fly home that same day. Sometimes the temperature was -8 below and he had to work outside for 8 plus hours! Now he enjoys the warm comforts of a desk, while he sends other mechanics outstation.
Now where in the world, did Henry learn how to work on equipment of this magnitude you ask???
A few years back Hen worked at Dulles International Airport for Airlines such as US Airways Express, Atlantic Coast Airline, and Delta doing the very same type of work for 6 years.
Other jobs Hen has had to name a few:
Kenny Rogers Roasters-this reminds me of that Seinfeld episode, lol
Hechts (Clothing department store, now Macey's)
Shady Oaks-ponies & amusements-lol, Hen is telling me about this as I type.
Man Power (Fairfax county gov.)
Rack N Roll (Bouncer at a Night Club)
Mark VII Equipment (Chemical Solutions Rep)
AAA-tow truck and battery sales
Ken Garff Car Sales
Celebrity Limo
Humm...Rack and Roll? Sounds like an interesting place. We need to hear stories about that job! :)
