Amid a pathetic FAA defense of overseas outsourced aircraft maintenance, David Campbell of AA says more than 90% of AA's maintenance is performed in the USA:

While most air carriers have increased outsourcing, AMR Corp.'s American Airlines said it performs more than 90 percent of maintenance domestically.

David Campbell, an American vice president for base maintenance, said in prepared testimony that the company plans to add $175 million in revenue from doing maintenance work for other air carriers this year. AMR said Thursday it would invest up to $100 million in its maintenance group, in an effort to grow that business.

He didn't say how much of AA's maintenance is outsourced, just that less than 10% is performed outside the USA.
