I'm contemplating becoming an aircraft mechanic. I've always loved planes and I still sometimes wish I had chosen to become a commercial pilot. There's a "crash course" school near me that's designed to get you the FAA A&P certifications in eight months. I'd be taking a significant pay cut at the beginning but after 5ish years I'd be back up about to where I am now.

I've thought of taking a similar path myself. Which school are you looking at?

US Aviation Academy. I've read that the quality of instruction and level of learning is pretty low and requires a lot of self study but I'd just be using it as a vehicle to get the A&P certifications as quickly as possible.
