Aircraft Overhaul in the form of the Heavy Check is going to two. Each aircraft will get it's mid life Heavy and then possibly a second heavy for return to the lessor. With the Light "C" check at one time being about 18 months, a series of 737's have been earmarked for an extended Light "C" adjustment. That is unless the new airlines decides to a MSG-3 schedule. Many of you believe that a massive shrinkage at Tulsa is going to happen, perhaps but where can you get your Light "C" and "Drop in" maintenance facility for practically free? IMO
Where? DWH PIT CRT.
What makes you think it's practically free? Ever think about your wages, health ins. vacation, lost time, OT, management to run the operation, HR expenses.
What's easier make a contract with an MRO pay that price, drop the plane off, pick it up when ready. If they're late on delivering AC, then they pay penalty.
There's a know nothing on this forum that say there are not enough mechs. He's a know nothing. And if YOU think it's cheaper to do it in house, then why hasn't AA brought back the wide bodies the same delta UAL.
I'm betting that AAs accountants know more about the cost comparisons then a mechanic who works aft cargo of a 737.
Don't fall for the scare tactics of lower pay for any type of job protection that a union can provide. Remember AFW MCI DTW MSP BNA SJU etc etc etc.......
Vote like a line mechanic. We all work for AA and the CEO is in charge, not some loud mouth in your break room or someone writing what you want to read.
