I was drafted from the squadron I wanted in order to fill
the needs of the one I am now at. Since my arrival I have
been stuck on night crew in Quality Assurance doing
paperwork. This squadron cares nothing about maintaining
aircraft but cares about “TPS Reports”. I constantly have some
class to attend and if I don’t attend I get threatened with
charges. But, someone screws up with a $55,000 part or with
maintenance that could kill someone-no one cares. I believe
everyone cares only about there rank and not pissing anyone
off above them. They all can route up forms but they cannot
troubleshoot grips to save their lives.
I was recently sent out to WTI two weeks advance of main
body. We worked 12 on 12 off, seven days a week. I did this
for two months. I was held on rear party because they knew I
could fix the aircraft if it broke. Well, it did. I flew back
on that aircraft only to have to come in a day and 1/2 later
to start working nights again(which is now 12 hour days). I
was the only person at work that was at WTI, everyone else
was off. Also, during WTI myself and another one of my peers
did majority of the work with no thanks. From November to
March I only saw my kids on the weekends because I sleep
during the day. I then did not see them at all for two months
(WTI). I returned home to my truck having: leaking
transmission, bad battery, broke water pump pulley and an
altenator voltage problem. Well, now I have to spend all my
time at home working on my truck so I can go to work. I asked
for leave but was told no “they need me here”…..should of
said the truth “we need you to be a bitch so we can take
credit for your work, not reward you and screw you over in
the end!”
