" We want to win, " said team member Peter
Adzema. " The competition is at our home base, so
we're hoping to have a lot of support from Delta to
give us the winning edge. "
Aircraft maintainers take pride in the incredible
work that they do. Having a chance to bring that
into the spotlight is an opportunity to show an audience
why that work is so crucial, and the chance to
win it all and give your team that confidence and
validation is an incredible honor.
" The AMC is great for the aviation industry to
show off our skills that are normally behind the
scenes, " Adzema added.
Even teams who don't walk away tops in their categories
still have an amazing platform to showcase
their ingenuity and talents in the dynamic world
of aviation.
" We don't ask for recognition, but after over
100 years of aviation, we feel that mechanics have
earned the right to stand tall and let people recognize
the careers of these men and women behind
the scenes, " MacTiernan said.
Industry of Integrity
Ensuring an airplane is properly maintained is a
job that requires the highest level of integrity. The
teams understand the responsibility to not only represent
the industry, but their programs as well with
members who exemplify the dignity of work. Youngs
and Harvey explained that deciding who they take
depends on technical ability and character.
" We set up four events for them to simulate
some of the things we're looking for: their character,
mechanical skill and how thoughtful they are
in addressing each issue. From there, we convert
those things into a time score to determine where
they rank, " Harvey says.
" Those students who make the top 15 are whittled
down to five based on all of the staff voting on who we
feel will represent our values the best, " Youngs added.
MacTiernan agrees with this philosophy.
" Perfection is the minimum standard my profession
strives for. You do it right, and you do it right
the first time. The competition puts that on display, "
he said.
