I deiced airplanes at newark airport during college.
The deicing company just grabbed anyone they can practically off the streets. Training was 4 hours on a saturday in the fall. In the winter, folks would slam into planes all the time and someone would have to come out and look at it and make sure it was ok.
There were no "instructors". At the time, the 3 main airports around NYC was the same group of people so it wasnt just EWR. Its alot more refined now, (this was 15-20 years ago) but from what I hear, its not much better.
- awad 4y agoHow was the pay?
- qazxcvbnmlp 4y agoI do it now. $20 / hour here. Depends on location. Pay is a slight premium above McDonald’s but not much.
- mwbajor 4y agoYea, back in ~2004 it was I think $16 the first year, and if you were good, $18 bucks after the second year. If you did it for > 5 years you became something like a supervisor.
