TAESL closing January 31

[1AA]

Perhaps lack of backfill due to one of the most expensive places to live in the USA.

 

[Buck]

Yeah I saw that, why do they need that many guys??

A little help, but I think a new " Line " is being opened? But in reality There are 354 Title 1 AMT's coming out of Tasel with 100 openings at DWH and 16 OSM's with most having seniority at 1995. Some coming to TULE and there is probably something  to the Early Out....

Figure it has to be a new line because 29 guys is about a 25% increase in mech's there. Heck 30% if you break out cc's and inspectors.

DFW have any B checks left to lose?

Well since HDQ is in DFW, how about bringing work in from CLT. Make CLT a gas and go hub. Just saying.

SFO is supposed to get another 737 Bck. As a side note, since USAirways does phase checks not B checks, who knows what maintenance program the new American Airlines will finally end up with. Heck, you could actually do a phase check at any station, as long as there are no pattern cards with a QC requirement.

We do B checks.  At least we did until the last 737 left a few months ago.  And besides that, I'm not sure what a "pattern" card is, but here anyone can be a DQC.  When they tell you to be.  Like it or not.

CLT isn't anywhere it's protected and has a line and heavy hangars.

Don't worry.
 
I'm sure you'll be picking up an little work from a certain couple of USAirways staions, just as soon as a JCBA is ratified.  Just saying.

I know we do B checks, I've done them as a mechanic and as an inspector at AA since 86.
 
A pattern card is another term for job card. I don't know what a "DQC" is but out here on the line, a card with a QC in the block has to be done by an inspector, not an RII.

Protected under your current CBA, correct?
 
Let's see what the new JCBA brings before any promises are made??

I see the company wanting to close PIT Heavy and move it to CLT and TUL.
