Andy, hello are you there? I need help!
Gee what do you call Timco and Aeroman overhauling HP planes everyday?
I call it allowing outsourcing.
Yes the ibt has allowed and continues to allow outsourcing.
Don't let the facts get in your way.
And I, as well as others, will stand by what is a FACT. There has been no additional outsourcing since the IBT contract. The IAM, from what I have read, has not been able to do so either. Not sure how you arrived at the conclusion of what the most important work is.I stand by my posting, the ibt allows the most important work to be outsourced and in the nine years of ibt representation they have not been able to capture the overhaul of aircraft.
I don't dispute that but when you put things into perspective such as the history of AWA (22 years) and the history of the IBT contract (a little over 7 years), of course there will be differences. Fortunately, AWA hadn't had to deal with all those union issues.....especially under bankruptcy. So there really isn't any historical comparison to make an honest judgement on. I hope you can see this. Time to come together as one company. Agree??Air,
It took two bankruptcies and three rounds of concessions and a judge in order for US/East to get the ability to outsource part of heavy maintenance.
Since 1949 all overhaul has been performed in-house by IAM represented mechanics.
Nothing like a Bankruptcy Judge to hold a gun to the employees heads.
