The day to day job of an A&P mechanic may at times be stressful. They must meet aircraft flight schedule departure times, maintain aircraft safety and repair aircraft in difficult work environments. Occasionally mechanics are asked to work numerous hours beyond the standard work day and more than five days per week.
In North America wages in the profession may range from $33,000 to $72,000. The median wage in 2010 was $53,000.
