ST. LOUIS, April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Trans States Airlines is pleased to announce an exclusive partnership with SONIC that will allow our mechanics to work smarter, faster, and more efficiently during their shifts. In the agreement, SONIC and Trans States have committed to implement an apprentice supplied toolset and box as well as a streamlined process for maintenance employees to obtain new and replacement tools.
SONIC’s top-notch Aviation A&P Kits, along with fast and affordable solutions for maintenance technicians solidified the vendor’s selection as the best choice for Trans States Airlines.
This partnership is an added benefit to the recruiting and retention initiatives the airline has in place to attract maintenance professionals. The only program of its kind in the country, the Trans States Airlines Maintenance Apprentice Program provides training and tools to unlicensed mechanics working towards their requirements.
“We are pleased to enter this partnership, offering our mechanics special rates on top quality tools,” said Matthew Wright, Director of Maintenance at Trans States Airlines. “We value our mechanics’ time and want them to focus on what matters most – keeping our passengers and crews safe. This partnership with SONIC will allow our teams to work more efficiently and have faster access to the tools that they need to do just that.”
Rather than waiting for a provider to visit work sites weekly or making personal trips to hardware stores, Trans States employees will now have online access to order tools and have them shipped directly within 24-hours. SONIC will also offer a premium discount to Trans States maintenance technicians, a unique program of its kind.
“The program launched at Trans States should be the change needed to jump start more entrants into the aviation technical field, by reducing some of the barriers of entry,” said Colby McConnell, President, SONIC Tools. “The partnership for us is unique in nature as well, but it shows our commitment to change for the industry.”
Trans States also offers a $3,000 signing bonus in select markets and up to $5,000 in retention incentives for current maintenance employees. To learn more about Trans States’ maintenance initiatives, please visit transstates.net/careers/pages/maintenance.aspx.

There’s certainly a lot to know about this issue.
I really like all of the points you have made.
Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem together with your website in internet explorer,
may test this? IE still is the market leader and a huge part of people will
pass over your wonderful writing due to this problem.
Thanks for every other wonderful post. The place else may anyone get that type of info in such a perfect
means of writing? I have a presentation next week, and
I’m at the look for such info.
This is a great tip particularly to those fresh to the blogosphere.
Simple but very precise info… Many thanks for
sharing this one. A must read article!
Hello There. I found your weblog using msn. That is an extremely well written article.
I will make sure to bookmark it and return to learn more of your helpful
info. Thank you for the post. I’ll definitely return.
I was recommended this website by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post
is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my trouble.
You’re amazing! Thanks!
This piece of writing will assist the internet people for building
up new webpage or even a weblog from start to end.
It’s very straightforward to find out any matter on net as compared to books, as
I found this paragraph at this website.
Currently it sounds like Movable Type is the top
blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your
blog?
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as
long as I provide credit and sources back to your blog?
My blog site is in the very same niche as yours and my visitors would genuinely benefit from a lot of the information you present here.
Please let me know if this alright with you. Thanks!
I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both
educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I came across this during my search for something regarding this.
My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type
on a variety of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching
to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into
it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re
using? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a
difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m
looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the
same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thank you!
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the
way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
