Aircraft maint issues

787 in sat c check being done. Who is doing it? Why is gary not bitching about that work. Anyone with info

ST Aerospace is doing the check I believe. They can do that Brother, we will get them next time.
 
Is anyone hearing if AA is wanting to expand their Aeroman presence since they bought LUS? SWA pulled their 4 lines of heavy maint from them and would make room for it. With Aeromans new 5th hangar completed, they now can do up to 18 full lines of heavy maint. LUS has been doing their maint there at Aeroman for some time now, and was wondering if AA would add to their LUS fleet maint or AA fleet maint at Aeroman???
 
Time to know what our union is asking for and what the company is offering. Unfortunately trust in our union is at a minimal.

The IAM and TWU should have taken a vote.
 
Happy 4% day! Today marks the third anniversary of the company wide 4% raise all received. The notable exception being those of us lucky enough to be "represented" by the association. We will get them next time fellas!
 
Peterson makes an excellent point in regard to economics. Never in my 28 years of Aviation Maintenance has there been exponential growth in profits, saved revenue from tax relief, and a positive future industry outlook all at the same time. If there was ever an moment in history that a union would want to be in negotiations it would be now and management knows it.

It sucks but we have a Scope clause and as long as the company is within that we can complain all we want. Doesn’t matter where the work is done. Looking forward to a Outsourcing percentage update in January.
 
Here is a thought that is way out there? Is there any correlation between Aeroman and a maintenance base in Brazil?

Id say NO. Other than they are both outside of the US. 2 different Countries. 2 different companies.

No. Two very different, according to the company. Co. says the Brazile is simply putting a roof over the regular maint. already done on the lines in Brazile. But I would be following up on this very strongly to hold them to it. Have they done this anywhere else in the past, JUST to put a roof over regular maint already being done? I don't think so. Something really smells fishy here about Brazile.
Buck, are you guys hearing some buzz about Aeroman? I do know that Aeroman must get those 4 lines filled rather quickly as they built so many hangars in such a short time span in order to pay for them. i also just thought Aeroman would approach AA to further expand their current maint. with them since they were bought by AA. Trust me, you guys will have to do a lot of rework once those planes are delivered back to your co. in the states. This was one of the big reasons SWA pulled out of there. They are not happy with the results. They could not deliver on what they promised aircraft after aircraft and was given plenty of time to clean it up but failed.

If its SAT its probably ST Aero. They do some of our (Delta) 757 work.

Its garbage water.

LUS had a long list of vendors. They also sent a good bit of work down to BFM.

We have been sending some of the Airbus aircraft down for mods. That will be ending soon. Haven't heard if they will get any of the heavy work though. I'm sure if they are willing to offer American the best deal, that's who will get some of American's work.

They might be telling you that, but its probably bull crap. They pulled the work because they found a vendor who will do it cheaper. When that contract ends they will probably change vendors again. All the airlines do it. Areoman will be doing work from someone else then in a few years that work will move and another airline(s) will step in. round and round we go.
