[QUOTE="Need4Speed, post: 489093, member: 10245"] Not trying to stir the pot here, but I have spent a lot of time performing acceptance flights for aircraft coming out of maintenance in Shannon, Singapore, and a many other heavy maintenance shops. I can appreciate the union wanting to protect jobs by insisting that the work not be outsourced. However, I believe it is disingenuous to say that because the work is "outsourced", or "performed overseas", it is inferior. In my experience, the work performed by most of these overseas operations is absolutely top-notch. I am perfectly comfortable accepting an aircraft from these facilities. In Singapore, each heavy maintenance accptance test flight is met by a group of folks that represent their specific teams (Air Sys Team, Hyd Sys Team, etc..). I have never seen a group of people who were more enthusiastic and motivated to do a good job, and who cared so much about the quality of their work. Quite frankly, I wish I experienced this level of competence and attitude in more of the places I typically fly. It's easy to put the words "outsourcing" and "Turkish Airlines scenario" in the same sentence, and insinuate that one will lead to the other. Based on my experience, I'm just not convinced. [/QUOTE]
