Your interviewer is seeking an Aircraft Mechanic that can be relied upon to show up for work on time, each and every day. They're asking this question to get your overall philosophy on punctuality and attendance on the job. As you talk about your attendance record, be up front and honest about your vacation days that you used, how much notice you were required to give, and how much notice you gave for each block of time off. Also, talk about any unplanned days you needed off for sickness or other emergencies, and let your interviewer know of the urgency of situations that would keep you away from work. In the end, ensure that your interviewer walks away from the interview confident in your ability to be relied upon for the job.

"Working as part of a large team that is dependent on each member of the team for success, I pride myself on my ability to be dependable as a team member. Over the past year, I've only had one half day of unplanned absence when I became very ill in the late morning at work. While I tried to push through the day, my manager insisted that I get home to rest that day and through the upcoming weekend. All other times away from work were planned vacation days with my family. In my current job, we are typically required to give at least a two week notice for scheduled vacation days, and all of my time is always requested with a minimum of two weeks notice."
