National AMT Day

Sunday May 24th is National AMT day and the TAMC and the Teamsters Airline Division would like to take a moment to recognize our thousands of Aviation Maintenance Technicians. Your hard work and dedication to aviation safety is without a doubt a corner stone in the success of our outstanding industry safety record. This day honors the birthday of Charles Taylor, the first aviation mechanic in powered flight and the man who designed and built the engine that powered the first successful Wright Brothers airplane.

On this day we should pause to remember the many men and women who have come before us. It is through their unwavering commitment to continually improve aviation safety standards that we have many of the processes and procedures in use today. As we move through our careers, we too have met the challenge of contributing our piece to improving safety as will the generations that follow us, because we are Aviation Maintenance Technicians, and that is what we do. In the hangars, on the line, in the backshops, in the blistering heat, freezing cold and the pouring rain, in the dead of night and the light of day, one thing never changes and that is our commitment to the safety of those who fly on the Aircraft we maintain. We have to get it right every time.

Thank you for all you do!
