Hey how do you guys get those great big pics to upload when there's a 500KB limit?
I couldn't even upload that little pic of mine, until I resized it as small as I could. Never mind adding more than one pic.
What's the trick?
I know a lot of it has to do with the resolution setting at which the picture was taken with.
Also, can you add another pic to a previous post by editing?
Here's Chi Chi now;

I certainly agree with you on the diversity thing - pretty cool.

 

My name is Karl and I work for Frito Lay /pepsico and own 2k kustomz and Do autobody painting and tuning and audio. I drive an r/t but found it fitting since I cruise this forum a lot. I live in Lafayette IN but I am originally from Muskegon MICH but have a lot of family still all over Michigan. Here is a pic of me but you really cant see a lot of me from it. I need to get some better pics of me and not so much of my car....

So I count 3 of us so far that work(ed) in aviation. Cool! Hope to be back on aircraft soon myself. I learned it in the Air Force too. '84 to '92 I worked on F-15's and F-117's. I was stationed at Eglin and Nellis (TTR) and did 8.5 months in Saudi during Desert Storm. The F-15 is still my favorite airplane. I was a 431x1 that was rivet force combined to become a 45274. That's a Crewchief, or it used to be. I was in the 33rd TFW, 59th AMU (which has been decomissioned) at Eglin and the 4450th which became the 37th TFW at Tonopah (now at Holloman). When I got out, I didn't have my A+P, so I worked in construction and at a motorcycle shop when I decided I really wanted to work on airplanes again, so I went and got my A+P license and eventually got a job as an A+P line mechanic at a small airline (Scenic) worked there for a while, took a better job at Allied Signal as Q.A. then got an even better job at America West Airlines. Worked up to Maint. Supervisor there before I/we decided to move back to Michigan. Did eventually get a job here in Kalamazoo as Station supervisor for an aircraft contract maint. co. based out of N. Carolina. Worked on Comair CRJ's doing overnight checks and on call for whomever when after 3 years, Comair decides not to fly here anymore. In the famous words of Homer Simpson, "DOHHH!" Since we really like it here, I decided to suck it up and not follow the job, so now I work on deisels at an IH dealership. It's good honest work, but it don't pay so good and I'd really rather be working on airplanes. Problem with that is, no airlines have maint. here or Battle creek or Grand Rapids. That leaves few choices and the small hangers don't generally pay so well and are very low turnover. Hmmmm.....what to do? Well, if I stay at the truck place long enough, I'll end up running the place. No doubt in my mind. They love me there because I ain't afraid of all the new technologies. (a lot of these guys work on trucks cause they aren't so good with computers if ya know what I mean) Not to toot my own horn, but I've never been to a truck school one, and 6 mos on the job and I am showing my leadman how I diagnosed an ABS problem with the company laptop. He has no clue. To add insult to injury, we've been on a pay freeze for the entire year I have been here. It's a fargin crime what these guys are getting paid here anyway. The rate of turnover is high, so if I stay long enough, I just may be able to write my own ticket. Hope is on the horizon either way, One company called Duncan aviation is expanding thier Battle Creek facility and that is supposed to add about 300 new maint. positions, and another company is building a small hanger at the Kalamazoo airport, and I happen to know that company does employ their own mechanics. Good news for Michigan these days, let me tell ya!
Probably a little too much info, but I do feel better now.
Thanks!
:-D

 

Yeah it sounded like a good vent man. and maybe i should send a c-5 up there for you guys... one will keep your whole crew bussy for a few weeks at least. I know a lot of those places you brought up but sadly ive never been to any of them. hope things work out up there man.

 

i'm amy, i live in westchester county, ny. i do a lot of things for a living. let's see....i'm working on my Ph.D. in developmental psychology (i'm abd at the moment, writting my proposal). i go to yeshiva university at the albert einstein college of medicine in the bronx. i also do research at einstein in the epidemiology and population health department. i teach psychology at both IONA college and at westchester community college. i also (getting a little rediculous, right?) do payroll for a company in manhattan. when i'm not doing any of those other jobs, i also have a dog walking job in the morning and night. i keep myself pretty busy as you can see.

when i'm not working, you can usually find me at one of the tracks around here breaking my car. it's a favorite pastime of mine and a running joke. i have yet to make a trip to the track this season where i drove out with everything in working order. in fact, one time i didn't even get to drive out at all....
