Once I interviewed and began with the company, I worked in Abilene, Texas (ABI) for fifteen months, then I transferred to DFW and have been here ever since \u2014 eight years now!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What do you like most about aviation maintenance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What I like most about my job is working with airplanes. I like doing the maintenance work safely and quickly so the planes can depart on time. Right now, as a Crew Chief though, I work mainly with the Mechanics giving them the job requests that come through so they can go out and fix the planes at the terminal. That can be anything from putting oil in the aircraft, checking the tires \u2014 anything and everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-47227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.envoyair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_DFW_Aviation_Mtx_Crew_Chief_Ivett_Pedroza_08062024-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Why is it important to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to celebrate our roots. As a Panamanian, I am proud to be from Panama. I always try to bring my team different foods from my country so that they can enjoy something different and see that Panama is not just a small country in Central America. It is also an important country like the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Why is diversity and inclusion important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aircraft maintenance can be an environment surrounded by men, and if I didn\u2019t feel included \u2014 if I felt like I couldn\u2019t do the same work as they do, they would avoid me, they wouldn\u2019t want to work with me, they wouldn\u2019t even want to develop a friendship with me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, it&#8217;s good to feel included and everyone has the right to work and be able to do what our heart tells us to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Interested in joining the maintenance team?
