Key Points

  • This resolution asks the House of Representatives to officially recognize May 24 as a day to honor aviation maintenance technicians. These are the skilled workers who inspect, repair, and maintain airplanes to keep them safe for everyone who flies.
  • The date was chosen to celebrate the birthday of Charles Edward Taylor. He was the man who built the engine for the Wright brothers' first flight. The goal is to highlight how important these workers have been since the very beginning of flight.
  • The resolution points out that the world will need over 600,000 new technicians in the next 20 years. It also mentions that these jobs pay well, with many workers earning over $100,000 after seven years on the job.
