MUEs are the cleaner normally. They have some out on the line but they don't work on airplanes. (generally getting parts, maybe putting air in the tires)MetalMover said:Dawg...Does DL have these MUE's or ASM's working interior items at a station like JFK?
And you are correct that an A&P in not needed to clean parts or work cabin times. The problem is that the TWU has agreed to giving many mechanic functions away WITHOUT getting anything substantial in return......Contract after contract after contract after...............
We had them in the hangar for a little bit but it was hard finding things for them to do so they cut them.
Dept. 206 which is the cabin Maint dept has stations in ATL, CVG, SLC, MSP, DTW, LAX, SEA, LGA, JFK, BOS and MCO.
Dept. 250/251 which is the Line depts don't have any ASMs that I know of. So other than the 11 206 locations anything that is done in the cabin will be done by the line AMTs.
In the hangar, on my crew, we have 2 ASM and 8(i think it is) AMTs(6)/coneheads(2). For the most part ASMs do whatever an AMT does but generally work with a AMT and can't do some of the paper work.
And like i said, we have backshops that are damn near all ASMs (generally leads are AMTs). wheel and brake comes to mind.
and i agree with your problem with your union. Its a little bit of a joke that your pay is so low and you guys allow them to have about the same number of helpers that we do.
