The TWU wants us to believe that AMFA is to blame for the V-2500 Engine work outsource. Check these facts. The work was outsourced under the IAM in June of 2001. And then the IAM negotiated a concession that now excludes Heavy Maintenance from their 20% outsource cap.
How does the TWU expect AMFA to fight this outsource, when the IAM actually screwed their own members in 2001 and even more on the way out the door?

United Awards Multi-Year Maintenance Contracts to Pratt & Whitney
EAST HARTFORD, Conn., June 18, 2001 -- United Air Lines, Inc. (UAL) has signed multi-year agreements with Pratt & Whitney Aftermarket Services to provide engine maintenance on the airline’s JT8D-, JT9D-, CFM56- and V2500-powered aircraft. The agreements cover approximately 400 engines and have an estimated value of $400 million.
The contracts include:
A five-year contract to provide engine maintenance for the airline’s JT8D-powered 727 and 737 fleet.
A four-year contract to provide engine maintenance for the airline’ JT9D-powered 767 fleet.
A four-year contract to provide engine maintenance for the airline’s V2500-powered A319 and A320 fleets.
A four-year contract to provide engine maintenance for off-load volumes of the airline’s CFM56-powered 737 fleet.
Pratt & Whitney’s engine overhaul centers in Georgia, Connecticut and Norway will perform the maintenance work.
“With UAL’s San Francisco Maintenance Center exiting the JT8D and JT9D engine overhaul business, we are extremely pleased that they have chosen Pratt & Whitney to maintain these engines,†said Bob Leduc, Pratt & Whitney Chief Operating Officer. “In addition, UAL has awarded us the opportunity to continue to prove our competitiveness and reliability in maintaining non-Pratt engines.â€
“United is excited to have reached such an extensive agreement for engine maintenance with one of our key business partners,†said Andy Studdert, United Airlines Chief Operating Officer. “This transaction supports our plan of allowing United’s San Francisco engine shop to remain at capacity maintaining the newer technology engines while reducing the cost of engine visits already being performed elsewhere. Concluded with the assistance of Mercer Management Consulting, these contracts ensure that United will receive quality service at competitive prices.â€
Pratt & Whitney Aftermarket Services offers overhaul and repair services at nearly 30 locations around the world. In addition, it offers fleet, material and inventory management programs to both commercial and military customers.
