our Points Aero Services is an aircraft MRO and integrated services business located at Dallas Love Field. It is a Part 145 repair station that provides maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services
and other support services for a variety of corporate and general aviation aircraft. The company specializes in airframe maintenance and repair, engine repair and maintenance and avionics repair and maintenance. Tom Montgomery, partner and president of Four Points Aero Services and his manage- ment team have created a unique culture at the company. “We are a service provider in the MRO business, and every one of us is a customer service representative,” Montgomery says. “Having grown up in the industry, I realize that it takes everybody working together to be successful. Everything we do is done with a team approach. Jacob Johnson leads our maintenance team and helps foster the positive customer service mentality within our maintenance organization.”
LEARNING ABOUT AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE Jacob Johnson enjoyed working on cars when he was in high school, but he knew he didn’t want to work on cars for a living. A friend or family member didn’t introduce him to aviation. Instead, his introduction to aircraft maintenance came arrived in the mailbox one day. “I got a letter from Spartan in Tulsa, Oklahoma one day promoting it aircraft maintenance program. After seeing that letter, I decided I wanted to work on airplanes,” Johnson says.
A&P SCHOOL In August 2001, Johnson moved to Tulsa to attend Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology’s A&P program. He graduated in November of 2004 with an Associates degree. We asked Johnson if A&P School was what he expected it
would be. “It was,” he says. “Compared to working on cars, there were a lot of the same basics. To be honest, cars were getting to where you needed to be a computer programmer to work on them – you couldn’t just jump in there and get dirty and fi x them. I’m glad I got into aircraft maintenance.”
