Lets see where does HP do its heavy maintenance?
Answer: It does not, Timco in Macon, GA does the 737s and 757s and TACA in San Salvador does the A320 Family Aircraft.
Where does US do its heavy maintenance?
Answer: US overhauls all its A320 Family in PIT and 50% of the 737s are done in CLT. Up until the second bankruptcy final offer contract was ratified all the A330, 767 and 757 were done in-house, now they are going to be done by ACTS.
Scope is the most important issue of a contract, no scope, no jobs.
11 Completed years is 3 weeks vacation.
Yes and the sick thing sucks, but we have taken three rounds of concessions in less then two years and had a contract abrogated by the bankruptcy court and voted in a final offer that still preserved some heavy maintenance.

Well I have been here for 17 years.
Your company outsources all heavy maintenance US does A320 in-house and 50% of the 737s, those mean jobs, if US went to the HP way of doing maintenance another 1,300 mechanic would be laid-off.
There is no such thing as job security in aviation.
I guess since you never been through the hard times like US employees have you would not understand that.
Understand this Scope means jobs, no scope equals no jobs.
And before the first two rounds of concessions three weeks vacation was accrued after five years of completed services.

the truth of that is IAM is going to win not because they are better but because there are only 850 of us compared to 1000s of you guys so now all i have to do is hope that IAM doesnt can my ass and bring back all the furlong IAM guys
