AMR MRO

Dont forget that they are also dumping a lot of C-check work on to the B-checks.

Whats old becomes New again. Years ago AA did tons of third party work. Crandall got rid of most of it saying 'why should AMR help other airlines make money?'. I never agreed with that I figured why not make money off them? Unlike selling tickets you know how much you are going to make before you do the service and it can only become more(depending on what you mechanics find) not less. Dont man for the work, just call OT.
Agreed. When I joined AA at LAX, we were doing Third party work at the time. But it went away soon enough. When I left in 2005 in SFO, I remember the C check cards starting to appear on the B check and on the overnight work load. It just about buried us then.
