Common Questions
Why hire an A&P apprentice in Illinois?
Boeing built a $200 million factory at MidAmerica St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah, Illinois, to produce the U.S. Navy's MQ-25 Stingray, the Navy's first operational carrier-based unmanned aircraft. 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.
