>>1077591I worked as a lineman for a year.
Was for a private FBO, and got about 10 or 20 departures/arrivals per shift (The airport getting about 210 operations a day). Mostly private jets and planes, some military, Civil Air Patrol, etc.
Most of the time spent de-bugging, moving, and fueling planes. Otherwise the rest of the time would be spent receiving and preparing planes for departure or cleaning the hangers. Every morning there would be a fuel quality check, and every night the fuel trucks would be quality checked.
On rare occasions I would have to stay very late to receive an after hours arrival (usually just so I could pull their plane in the hanger during inclement weather), but usually you would just get their cars and necessities left out for them.
It's a litter unnerving at first, but you get used to it. The only time I was really stressed was when there was a large shift in employees and I was left alone to handle the base by myself and move a lot planes.
We had to detail high paying clients cars if they requested it, I'm not sure if this is common or not.
By far my favorite job that I've had so far.
>>1077650Some times the people coming in or going out drop you a 10 or 20. Nothing really to it, just split it with who-ever you're working with that day.
