Depends if you work the line, heavy or shops.[BR][BR]A line mechanic usually does a daily check and tries to fix anything a pilot writes up. THe third shift line mechanic does a lot of work, fixes the mels, deferred items and preventitive mainteance and line mods. The heavy mechanic does the overhaul of the airplane and required mods and heavy checks. A shop mechanic overhauls and repairs the numerous differant parts required on an airplane.[BR][BR]For example a 747 has over one million replaceable parts and items.
