Funny story.... back in the 90's I was a flight mechanic for Ryan International Airlines.... 727's mostly, and those were 3 man airplanes. One day my boss called me and said Ryan would foot the bill for me to go down to Tampa and get my engineers rating.
I was pretty excited about that. A 727 engineers ticket cost about 15 grand at the time.
The week before my class date he finally let slip that Ryan paid their engineers about 2/3 of what I was already making as a flt mech.
Kinda pissed me off that they weren't planning on sharing that bit of info until after I was certified. Told 'em to piss off. My time at Ryan went downhill pretty quick after that.
