back room deal hell.
Its front room from all to see. Airlines always do this s**t. I remember when United closed its Indy maintenance base. Little bit later AAR buys the base and magically a lot of exUnited management is back to work in Indy
and soon enough AAR in IND is doing United 737 work, same work UA was doing in IND.
If you look at a lot of the leadership for outsourcing companies in the US, 9 times out of 10 they are loaded with ex airline leadership. 9 times out of 10 they end up doing a lot of that airlines work too.
