Airline Lineperson Jobs

Airline Lineperson Duties

Linepersons are employed by fixed base operators (FBO's) and handle a variety of duties. The lineperson meets the arriving aircraft, guides it to and secures in it in the appropriate parking area, fuels and services the plane, inspects the craft for low tire pressure or fluid leaks, and generally serves as the FBO greeter. The lineperson at an FBO has a lot more customer contact than at a large airline, since at a smaller facility the pilots and passengers expect more personal service. Many times linepersons will also coordinate rental cars, catering, and other services for pilots and passengers.

Airline Lineperson Qualifications

A lineperson position is the typical way to enter the FBO market as well as into the air industry in general. Most linepersons are just starting their aviation careers. Experience is not required, although a few years of solid work history is a definite advantage. People skills are a must since dealing with customers is second only to taking care of aircraft. Most positions are not advertised, so don't hesitate to just show up at your nearby FBO. Average starting salary: $7 to $12 an hour.

Teamwork
Successful applicants must have the ability to maintain a healthy balance between the ability to work independently and as part of a team. As a team member on a flight crew, sales organization, assembly line, or office environment, you actively contribute to the team and maintain positive working relationships with all team members, in the air and on the ground. Being part of the team means you treat others fairly and with respect, while sharing resources and information with other team members. From time to time, this means seeking opportunities to help others before being asked or required. Something to keep in mind is that teamwork means, the work of the crew isn't done until every crewmember's work is done.
