Perhaps not.

I get it now. Delta is bringing Mexican illegals into NRT to work in a new hangar.Kev3188 said:In a thread about immigration reform?Perhaps not.

I could probably hazard a guess, but that would involve me caring.WorldTraveler said:can you confirm the nationality and work status of those who work in DL's NRT maintenance facility, Kev?
what an unbelievably ignorant statement.
Not to sound racist but you generally see nothing but Asians working in the Delta line stations in Asia. For the most part, however if something big happens someone state side will be taking a field trip.WorldTraveler said:except that DL is using legal labor... presumably Japanese with some US folks dropping in every now and then.
can you confirm the nationality and work status of those who work in DL's NRT maintenance facility, Kev?
none of this has to do with question Kev asked you butWorldTraveler said:of course it is all a deflection when YOUR SIDE has to deal with the reality that DL employees make more money than their peers at other airlines. DL employees don't pay union dues and they are getting profit sharing in far larger quantities than any other carrier.
and since every thread on this forum turns into a labor discussion, perhaps you can explain what is going on with DL's "new" hangar at NRT.
for supposedly dismantling and outsourcing maintenance, this seems like a move in the opposite direction. and certainly counter to the notion that DL is dismantling NRT.
Unless fuel prices continue their downward slope, I don't believe that nonstops from the USA to far-flung Asian destinations will ever be viable. By far-flung, I'm referring, obviously, to places like SIN, BKK, KUL, etc.WorldTraveler said:of course the real answer may be that DL isn't really going to completely unwind NRT as a hub the way some people think.
Delta isn't going to stop flying NRT-BKK/SIN/GUM/MNL/SPN/ROR because they would fail from the US.WorldTraveler said:I would expect to see Asians working in a DL Asia operation with an occasional American popping in. I would also expect they are all legal.
I didn't really guess DL was doing more maintenance work at NRT just because of the hangar but the question is why DL bothered to rent one now if they are on the verge of unwinding NRT as a hub which would involve aircraft just turning around and going back to the US and why NRT got a hangar and a whole lot of much busier airports including JFK don't have one. it would seem that the terms must be pretty good.
of course the real answer may be that DL isn't really going to completely unwind NRT as a hub the way some people think.
