Rumor Control at Timco

[bigjets]

no one can force you to go on a field trip! lame excuses for bad behavior

Tech crew chiefs can be forced to go on field trips, look at their duties and responsibilities in the contract. Besides refusing OT or field trips has never stopped AA.


Taking 12-18 months to close AFW, how motivated are those guys going to be.

Eliminating avionics, doing away with midnight retention, eliminating all letters of agreement, whats next pay for your parking spots?

7 day coverage will begin mid Feb. for some. and its mandantory. We have a 1/7 rule that allows it.
but after the Co. has their way, all TULE will be on 7 day coverage to minimize the overtime. That will really piss off the ones in economic bondage.

In the future here will there be turf wars over lawn mowing territory? Rival lawn-mowing gangs may rule the streets to cause chaos everywhere

Will the union go public about the Timco scandal?? Pass out the green cards?

7 day coverage started Jan 7 for some here at TULE

Anyone know the duration of the Timco contract? Did the Co. pick Timco because it was the closest MRO?

About the first 4 each 757 heavies: Is this just the beginning, or will it blossom into a long term deal?

Maybe we will see a Timco employment ad in the Tulsa World classified section.

Contract was for 4 757's, one at a time. It took months for them to find a vendor and no, not because they were closest but because they were the only. They have a tall order to fill their outsource term sheets and my WAG prediction is their plan will take much longer than expected.

I believe that the yields wear out of whack for the 757's. If the company can not acquire a vendor to address this issue, then what purpose does the outsourcing.

Found out this morning the 2 TCC are still at Timco been there for over a week now

There will be some changes to the 757 program. Hangar 80 will move to 737 Light C's.

The company has classified 5Cl as an "aircraft of interest ". What does that mean???

 

[Birdman]

5CL is coming to TULE for repairs. Timco is giving up. 😱

 

[skippy525]

If this is any sign of how the maintenance is gonna be when the company outsources 40% more maintenance, I'm kinda glad that I'm gonna be on the outside watching the fire burn.

Both 757's coming back to Tulsa, one they cannot fix and one we have to repaint.

Does TIMCO not have a certificate to paint the airplanes?

5CK came through DFW and the paint was coming off in sheets...on the left side.

Looking at the FMR for 5CL in DECS. Looks like Timco dose some poor maintenance.
