Common Questions
Why hire an A&P apprentice in Florida?
Melbourne is home to Embraer's first U.S. aircraft assembly plant, where the company assembles its Phenom executive jets and final-assembles its Praetor business jets. Demand for certificated mechanics is strong — training an apprentice under 14 CFR 65.77 lets your shop grow its own A&Ps instead of competing for them.
What if the apprentice I want isn't in my city?
Check the relocation line on their profile — apprentices state whether they're willing to relocate, and many will move for the right training opportunity. To maximize the quality of apprentice recruits, fill out your supervisor listing inside your account — once published, it shows to apprentices across the Grease Pilot network.
