 Claribel SchulzProject Manager Assistant Avionics Line Tech II “Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. You may surprised to find you shine somewhere you never expected. My life is a complete 180 from where I started, and I am out of my comfort zone! I love it that I can learn every day. Instead of worrying that you’re in a new field and you don’t know anything, use that energy to learn what you need to know. Just do it!” |
 Julia Cwiek
Airframe Team Lead
Airframe Asst Team Lead “I went to Lansing Community College for Aviation, but I kept putting off the testing for my Airframe license. Then Duncan Aviation started its AMT test prep program, and I was able to sit in on the test prep classes and study. I took the test in fall 2021 and got my Airframe in December 2022. I just love the people that I work with, and I think that’s pretty important; it makes you want to come to work everyday.” |
