It is time to be proactive and call the White House. Demand a 14CFR - FAR rule change so that all domestic air carriers will send their planes to domestic overhaul centers rather than Asia or Latin America. The following points to a Facebook page dedicated to bringing American aviation jobs back home.

Why not just change the interpretation of the FARs' to state that no domestic US 121 Carrier by Air is allowed to utilize any maintenance provider that does not allow free and unfettered inspection by the US Government Agencies authorized to insure compliance with the same rules applicable to domestic MRO providers with respect to Air Carrier Operations and Maintenance, Certification, Safety, Environmental and Security regulations?

As of now: foreign providers of MRO requirements to domestic US 121 Air Carriers are being allowed to use their local rules without respect to US Air Carrier regulations for the safety, environmental and security requirements placed on US Domestic MRO Operations and are not subject to free and fettered inspection from the US Government and US Government Inspection of foreign MRO providers is regulated by the host country, not by the FAA issued 121 Air Carrier Certificate which authorizes domestic flight operations.

Simply changing the interpretation of authorized maintenance for US certificated 121 Air Carriers to require that any and all of their maintenance requirements are conducted in accordance with all the applicable US domestic MRO operations would allow the imposition by the US Government of the same standards met by domestic MRO providers and full, free, unfettered inspection of those facilities to insure compliance.

In short, to answer why (?)... because the goal is to bring these jobs back to the USA as fast as possible. Thus the domain:

Probably would need to address any commercial airline operating in, to or from USA.

No. We can't begin to go there. What our representatives and the President can do however, is properly regulate our passenger airline companies and industry. The Congress and President have that authority and have failed Americans. When we hear platitudes during an election year saying the pols will "create jobs" and they allow MRO outsourcing on heavy airliners, something is wrong.

NOW is the time to stand up and ask your representatives to make a commitment to bringing these jobs home.

You are right but it has to be about enforcing the same reglations at foreign MROs that domestic MROs have to follow. Not only FAA regs but safety and environmental too. You see movie stars getting involved in child labor issues in the forign manufacturing of clothing and even during the olympics there was a big stink about where Team USAs uniforms were made. But does anybody really care?
Here in north Texas 1100 jobs are about to be gone when AFW closes and the wide bodies go away with the 777s going to China. I wrote letters to all politicians from local to state to national and got 3 replies back out of 6. Two were form letters thanking mefor my interest in keeping jobs in the U.S. and the third was a form letter thanking me for my interest in a bill to continue funding the war in Afghanistan.
Nothing at all from Gov. Good Hair who just ran a Presidential campaign based on job creation. Then a couple of months later he is crowing about bringing several hundred call center jobs to North Texas.
Nobody cares about American jobs anymore as long as the price of the product is low. Maybe the public will care if they know that the regualtions are not being enforced as they should be outside the U.S. .
