yes ive earned the right to talk pilot shit.
and yes im impressed with my own credentials and proud of it.
and overall
i still make shit money.
if i had it to do again i would prefer to be on the left side of the maintenance log and the cockpit.
the pilot gets to write up the snag and go drinking.
while i spend the night fixing things.
