Increased outsourcing of
narrowbody A Check work
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
There is a rumor circulating
that the modified provisions of Article 1.B.11 in the extension agreement
would include A Check work. For purposes of the CBA, A Check work was never
considered heavy maintenance under that provision, and as you will see in
the email exchange below, that work would still not be considered heavy
maintenance if the extension ratifies.
I concur with your
characterization of “A”-check work as not considered heavy maintenance
under the current terms of Article1.B.11, and that characterization does
not change under the terms of the extension agreement.
Best Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,
This will confirm our
discussion that narrowbody A-Check work has not been traditionally
considered heavy maintenance under the provisions of Article 1.B.11, and
that further, such A-Check work would not be considered heavy maintenance
under the terms agreed to in the extension agreement. If you agree with the
above could please respond with your concurrence.
