Today we’re celebrating Aviation Maintenance Technician Day, which recognizes the efforts of MRO staff behind the scenes who keep aircraft flying safely. In an industry that continues to struggle with attracting and retaining enough qualified workforce, it’s more important than ever to highlight aviation maintenance technicians (AMT) and demonstrate all the career path opportunities the MRO industry provides. For today’s MRO Digest, we’re sharing stories from interesting and accomplished AMTs from all stages of this path, ranging from those just starting their careers to experienced professionals who have taken unique journeys in the industry:

We hope these AMTs’ stories will inspire our readers as much as they inspired us.
