Mechanic related questions for Chris Chiames (a.k.a. US Airways, Inc)

[pitguy]

The rumor in PIT is that heavy maintenance is gone and to be outsourced and that is why the voluntary furlough excludes about 1000 mechanics. It appears they are going to be hitting the streets soon. So chipmunn hold onto your hat and we will see if the employees questions are answered or avoided (again).
Maybe this can be cleared up by Chris Chiames (a.k.a. US Airways, Inc)

Chris Chiames (a.k.a. US Airways, Inc),
Please answer the follow questions.
-Will the company try to get out of any severance pay plans?
-When reading the latest voluntary furlough for the mechanics it says you needed to have seniority in your basic position before 1-1-89. Is the company going to lay off more mechanics than what has been announced?
-Is the company going to attempt to vender heavy maintenance on the Boeing or Airbus equipment?
Please respond Chris Chiames (a.k.a. US Airways, Inc).
