Three weeks ago Mark Easton informed us that American was looking to contract out 757 heavy checks. Two weeks ago Sam Cirri ask Tony Bunch to get a group of union members together, form a team, gather solutions to prevent any of our work from being sent out. This team has now met two times and believes that with some research of the dock schedule, planning of MODS, Bill of Works, parts kitting and proper workforce allocation, alternatives to outsourcing are very possible, if management is willing to work with us.
The 757 Save Team are made up of members from 757 heavy checks, crew chiefs and others who have technical knowledge of scheduling, planning and bills of work. Therefore, if one of these members approaches you for help or information, please try to assist them as much as possible.
It is in all of our best interest to keep this work here at the Tulsa Maintenance Base.
