Thanks for the kind words! I do like my weekend job very much (I'm a guardsman). Our pilots are top-notch and super nice guys. At least with heavies, I have found that the Air Force treats its maintainers VERY well. It's amazing how picky QA can be on inspecting our work, but I NEVER complain when they point out even the tiniest or most debatable detail. They are doing that so our flight crews have absolute confidence in our airplanes. I don't know what I'd do if one of my jobs caused an injury or death, so those guys signing off red X's and the QA folks looking over my shoulder are a welcome addition to the hangar!
