Title: Man I hit Pay Dirt.
Post by: AWMac on December 05, 2006, 08:06:19 PM

New job that I'm in Dallas for is with FAA.  I'm in training for the FAA Technical Infrustructure.  Training is somewhat intense but I'm in.  I'll have Tulsa,OK  and a 4 hour circle around it.  All the communications to include radar, coms and satcoms for ALL Airlines and Military Aircraft are within my Region.  

Hey if I can't fly them then I can keep them up and safe.  Training for these 1st two days have been intense.  I'm gonna make it, no prob.  Been told already I have what it takes.

Everything in my Region is already built out and I'll just be a "Maytag Repairman".  My Training ends Dec 15th and they have a Moratorium "no work to be done" until Jan 3rd.  

I was given a new laptop, HP Compaq nx 7400, Cell Phone, buttload of tools and a Corp Card.  Plus the $$ is great.  I work from home too.    I have GREAT Beni's  even for my pets... dig that.

Did a SatCom cut over today... sweet.

More to follow... I truly feel like a LTAR Action Figure!!!

Warmest Regards,

MacMAW

Thanks all ....

About time I got a break in life.  

I'll maintain all the FAA Comms in my Region... that's Radar, SatCom, Weather..if it comes into my Region my watermelon better be working..working and protect coms.

Seen a flick yesterday called "Flight 191"  when Comms went down and stranding flights in air near BTW in bad weather... eye opener and I worried about doing disconnects on 911 circuits before, this is far more intense.

Most of the peeps I work with are ex Military which I prefer, some and others from Raytheon and Harris.  But training is a ballbuster... I'm making it happen though.  And I didn't have to go through a second interview either.. made me feel good...wanted.

Sooo you all have just 20 days left to get yer own MacMAW Action Figure!!!

Beat the rush, Don't be the Last to Order... Santa can carry only so many.

Again, Thanks all..

Mac

Dad would have been proud of me... I know he's watching overhead.

Miss ya Pop!




Ohhh btw I even get medical bennies for my pets... Gotta love it!
