MD-80 Line: Not to Return

MD-80To All,

We were made aware this morning from Mark Easton that the second MD-80 Heavy check line, that was suspended for the summer schedule, will not restart in August as originally planned.

Without that MD80 Heavy check, Easton predicts that this change could equate to about a 100 AMT surplus in Aircraft Overhaul and Maintenance.

Easton stated that he is in discussions with planning concerning the impact this will have on CRO and PALM. He also stated that they will be looking for opportunities to close the gap and will give more details as they become available.
