It is a bus, check it out, I doubt HPs 737s had joysticks and a glass cockpit and IEA Engines and wingtips, Cargo doors that open out instead of in.
Are you an A&P? No, neither are you
How many heavy checks did the IBT bring in? none, you have seen the difficulty of negotiating with dp( he learned from the master)
And yes US lost some work due to chapter 11 but it is bringing more back inhouse, something the ibt did not accomplish. It is still a loss, if it were so easy to bring the checks back in house ( as you make it sound like it was only the inability of the ibt, not the company) why has'nt the iam been able to bring all mx back in house????
Aeroman did not overhaul HP's 737s, only Airbus. it does'nt matter, they were sent out
And 50% of the east 737s could be farmed out, but that is only since 2005. see above, that is still a loss of work under the iam, no matter how it happened
