NO. The line referred to was to be a 767 repair line to address the corrosion at sta434. We were to start that in sept replacing the stringers in that area along with some pylon work. Besides I`m telling you now the boss LIED to us and will lie to you too.
A North American 767 is all that's in their. The former Delta overhaul hangar at one time I was told had 1,500 workers in it.
Thats correct. I just talked to a buddy over there. One big empty hangar. 🙁
<_< ------- That's right! But their preconditions have so many if's, and's, or but's, that I feel they will ration them out like candy. I hear the bean counters are getting together this next week to figure out where, and how much of the work will go where, and how many people, at each base, they can afford to let go without there being a stampede to get to the door!!! Window? No window set yet! -------- And yes I'm considering it! Along with quit a few here at MCI. By the way, I understand that we can collect unemployment here in Missouri also! Just one more reason to look close at this!
Yes you`ve got all the 777 starting in sept. Now what sense does it make to move 767 from afw to dwh (delta hangar)? What sense does it make to have our maintenance spread out all over the place? As it stands now afw will have 3 767 lines bays 2,3 and 6 and the 767 repair line on bay 5. Leaving bay 4 ,formally 777, and bay 1 our drop in dock. I can make the arguement to move the mci work to here at afw and dwh. Then a large part of our maintenance would be consolidated at our largest hub.
well with respect my info says we have a 3 year lease at dwh. What those terms are I do not recall. In addition to the docks at afw we also have over 70 shops.
<_< ------ dvlhog212, believe me, I know how your feeling! When they took the 737 operation away from us, it was a slap in the face! Then it was common knowledge that MCI was working on borrowed time! Have you ever been here at MCI? As far as size, only TUL is bigger. As far as age, TUL is also older. And the kicker is AA's getting the whole thing for almost nothing! ------- Let me ask you this. How far is it from AFW to DWH? Couldn't most that got layed off at AFW just transfer to DWH?
