I would say AA needs to look at the root causes of specific issues affecting certain stations, shifts, workloads, MEL's, staffing, part availability, ground times and management relationships with the work force. If station A has a similar operation as station B but station A can't get its flights out as efficiently as station B then you need to look at what and how these aircraft are being maintained. It's not just turning a wrench. Deferring scheduled checks only to bite you later on in the day on a turn around is no way to run a aircraft maintenance operation. Many factors involving overnight maintenance operation. You have to know what they are in detail. You just can't look at numbers and generalize for the entire system.Back on topic with the judge dismissing 4 of the Association's arguments, what does that leave to fight the injunction?
Is the 767 fleet a bigger problem than the 757 fleet? Are the 319's more labor intensive than the 321's?
Does AA have parts available for the 767 where most of the maintenance is done and stations it flies to and from? Same goes for the MD80's and 777's. I think AA management took on a task much diverse than they thought they were able to handle. My opinion as I see it on a day to day basis.
