After AA removed the SIC 0912 inspection card from RON aircraft and replaced it with the infamous No Check policy, (where an a/c would not even be looked at unless there was an open discrepancy), we were informed that an A Check would take 16 man hours, a PS would take 8 man hours and a No Check would take 4 man hours.
Now AA has realized that the No Check policy did not work, (gee, it seems as if I wrote to Greg Hall and Danny Martinez telling them that thier brain storming of initiating the No Check program would fail fell on deaf ears, uhm), and have created the new and improved No Check check and are calling it the SIC 0922 or Dependability Check, DP.
There is no increase in head count. Now all of a sudden an A Check takes 10 man hours, not 16, a PS takes about 4 man hours not 8, and the DP takes 2-3 man hours. Hum? We were given 4 hours on an a/c that had NO INSPECTION to work open items. NOW we have an inspection AND open items but are given less man hours. Where is the logic here?
This simply proves that AA will move numbers around to fit their needs. Just like at contract time when they move numbers around to show AA is losing money but then after negotiations POP! move the numbers around/back and presto we are making money again.
I guess my point is that the company will do whatever they wish. Why? Because as the twu likes to say, "They can do that brother!"
I'm sure Bobby Gless and jim little will get right on this matter.
