Saving Money is Good

I am all for promoting ways to save money, both personally and on the job, so here are some budget-saving suggestions to start off the new year:

• Online IA renewal training – AskBob members receive a 8% discount off the low rate of $59 for 8 hours of FAA approved online training. This online training is good for IA Renewal and FAA Awards credit. More information is available at http://www.askbob.aero/content/online-ia-renewal-training. Your coupon code for the 8% discount on training is “ASKBOB”.

• Go Green, Go Discless – If you are like the majority of customers, you are downloading your revision updates. Did you know that most ATP® regulatory and technical publication libraries allow you to opt-out of receiving discs by mail? This removes the need for discs, envelops, postage, and the fuel for delivery. This also reduces the price of the library by up to 5%. Discs are just a phone call away should you need a set for a re-install or any other issue. You can defiantly save some cash by updating online and opting out of receiving discs of every revision. Call Customer Care @ 415 330-9500 for details.

• Job Posting Discount – Alert everyone to your job openings with the AskBob Job Board. Job openings posted on AskBob are also syndicated across twitter @AMT_jobs, LinkedIn, MySpace and the SimplyHired jobs network. Job postings are already a deal at $25 for 45 days, but to help get everyone back to work, and encourage the broadcast of job openings, you can get 20% off each job listing by using coupon code “jobs2010”. To see or post jobs go to: http://jobs.askbob.aero/a/jobs/find-jobs

• Aviation Industry Expo Deals – If you are considering attending the Aviation Industry Expo in Las Vegas this March 16-18 you should check out the show website. I have found they have pretty good hotel rates and are also currently providing a free Expo pass with online registration. www.aviationindustryexpo.com

• Piston Engine  Library Discount – Subscribe to ATP's Contenental and Lycoming 4&6 Cylinder digital library and get $40 off. Visit www.atp.com/tcmlycoming.htm for details. 

• Supplier Directory Featured Listing – Basic company listings are free and now Featured Company listings in the Aircraft Maintenance Supplier Directory are 20% off with coupon code ASKBOB20. Visit the Supplier Directory. Featured Listings include your company logos, weblinks, banners and much more.
