Like I said. You brag about how good the US language is on scope but as far as in-house overhaul you have five airframe lines at US, no engine overhaul, and very limited components. Bring that scope over without adjusting the percentage down to closer to 35% and we lose the last of the engine overhaul (CFM) and most of CAM. No one cares what if it's hours or cost, it's what keeps the same work at the new AA. No givebacks. This company made over $6B and refuses to give profit sharing we are not giving them jobs too in exchange for Parker throwing a few dollars at us. Buck asked you what products does US overhaul in-house.how many people in component overhaul? How many people are tearing down engines to the smallest part and overhauling them? How many people working TRs in composites? How many? Tell us.

I have not heard it put that way, but the possibility of the work on the aircraft dock transitioning to a phase was mentioned last year. 
It is my understanding that once a aircraft is placed on a maintenance program, it has to complete that program? 
 
I understand that the Old 737's ( LUS )  that are outsourced are to stay under that contract and the the LAA 737 will continue as it has.
 
As the company receives the AirBus they will not require heavier maintenance for some time, however as these aircraft gain time it is a possibility that TULE will see them, whether under a phase check or not. " TULE has the capacity and the ability to take this work." In the next few months I can ask some of the mechanics exactly what there work is.
 
My question is why are these "B Checks" being routed away from the Hubs?
 
 
Out here on the line, we were told all fleets will be going to a phase check. Current stations with B-CKs will be doing most of the phase check cards. But since the phase check cards are special items cards, they can be put into any bill of work at any station, if the station has the manpower to meet the extra man hours those cards require.
 
The current B-CK crews will most likely be disbanded and absorbed into the regular line headcount at their station. Then the A, PS, RS, SC checks will have additional special items cards assigned to them which will be phase check cards. This ain't the old American Airlines anymore.

Do I have to explain this to you again?
 
Your really have a hatred of the IAM and you seriously biased.
 
And I am not advocating any givebacks or concessions, just trying to educate you on what happened, but you dont care, you clearly hate the IAM and wont let the facts get in your way of that.
 
US overhauls all types in its fleet, A320 family, A330 Family, B757s, some are outsourced some are done in-house.

 The US DOL Lawsuit, against the IAM ( NPF ) and anyone advocating anything from them for any reason has lost any credibility, after all the Loaf of Bread cost the same for us all.

Apples and oranges, but if that's how you feel then it says it all about you.

You come on here belittling people from the very first. People either find fault in your statements or just disagree and they are all idiots.
How do you expect people to react when a little evidence shows up about the credibility of your savior and their products?
Here at TULE I will do everything within my ability to protect my fellow employees against your Snake Oil. When I produced the 57% funding figure
from Credit Suisse of 2012, I have asked you approximately 3 times for definition of actuarial value and fair value. You spout off about knowing
everything there is to know about everything yet you cannot even answer a simple question or say that you don't know, you just ignore.
Just admit that you are in this IAMPF and you are scared of it's failure.
 
I'm not in the plan and have no vested interest, but it's only been said a million times.

And according to the DOL the plan is 101% funded.

You still won't answer the question. .

Read the lawsuit.
 
They didnt take the money for personal use.
 
Did you read it?
 
The majority is the consulting contract.

Others were two holiday parties for the fund employees, a retirement dinner for a fund employee, and the dinners with people doing business with the fund or potential business.
 
Still wrong either way.
