The other shoe has finally dropped. On 1/23 we were told about the TechOps plan. Eight maintenance outstations to close;DFW,ORD,SAN,PHL,PHX,PDX,PBI,and EWR. Other line stations, including CVG and SLC will get headcount reductions. Four GSE stations will be outsourced.
DTNC hangar in ATL to be given back to the city with all work and personel going back to main TOC. The heavy PSV checks, longer than five days, coming due and many of the mods upcoming will be outsourced. This includes 767-300/400 domestic to international and Biz elite upgrades. Song, the current cabin upgrades and upcoming 737 shuttle config to mainline changes will stay in house.
Relocation money will only be provided to displaced workers transfering to the Northeast stations and SFO.
In the end 800 to 1000 TechOps employees in scale and salary positions will no longer be at DL.
I almost forgot. DL TechOps is positioning to be a feared player in the MRO marketplace. That comes from our leader, not me. Ofcourse we are only going to be feared in the short term visit catagory. If the work takes longer than five days we want nothing to do with it.
