If the school won't pay attention, then the next step is the FSDO
& the FAA Training/Certification departments.

At that point, *someone* will pay attention!



I worked 10 hour night shifts on the weekends for 2 years while going to
school full time to obtain my A&P. It was pure hell, between the hours that
I kept, very little sleep, several hours study time per night (luckily my
boss let me do a little study at work) busting my ass for the O&P's and
trying to maintain somewhat of a family life for my wife and son. I don't
know that I want to call FSDO and get them involved. I don't want to risk
what I have accomplished. I would hate to lose my certificate!

I know this is probably not the attitude that I should have, but I figure
that the A&P is mainly just a license to learn. The people that I mentioned
before, *if* they actually do get into aviation, should learn the real stuff
from their employers, I hope anyway. I feel that I am more qualified than
most of those goofballs in school to work as an A&P, and would probably get
hired before they would. I have had only one nibble as far as a job offer
goes. I am sure most of them still work at McDonalds anyway.

Also, the guy that runs our FSDO is buddies with the guy that runs the
aviation department at school, so I don't know how far a complaint like this
would go.
