Brittany L., Aircraft Maintenance Technician

1. When did you begin your career as an aircraft mechanic and why did you choose this field? 

I began my career in 2019 at Delta doing line maintenance in San Diego. I chose this field because my dad worked for Delta as a mechanic, and he would often take me to work with him. I remember being in awe of the planes and how they worked from the first time he took me in. Keeping the flight benefits that I grew up with also was a big factor in why I wanted to work at Delta.

Everyone here wants to see you succeed and is willing to help you however they can, so just be willing to ask.

1. When did you begin your career as an aircraft mechanic and why did you choose this field?

I became an aircraft mechanic in 1999. I started Aviation High School in Queens NY, and my original career choice was to become a pilot.
