Aviation Industry...
I have noticed that in many of their profiles, members list their occupation as having to do with aircraft /airlines.
Who here works in the Aviation Industry? And what do you do?

Haven't done the carrier thing, but picked up a number of pilots out of the mud in my 20+ years in the USAF/USAFR as an Explosive Ornance Disposal Tech. Was a real BLAST!
Currently a "professional computer geek" with Boeing. One of those ought to count.

Hmmm.....
Perhaps you could analyze the failure rate of PCIIIs. I'm curious as to how long they can be expected to last.

"Aviation" is such a restricting term
Did some time at Area 51, but I really can't talk about it. They're listening, ya know? Huh? There a knock at my door...
