[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 481748, member: 12508"] Both UPS and FedEx have been out-sourcing various aircraft "checks" for years. These are non-union shops that typically are staffed by recent A&P grads trying to get experience. There have been a number of incidents attributed to such companies. Anyone remember a ValuJet DC-9 plunging into the Everglades a few years ago? It's all about saving money and not about the quality of the work. That's why they don't let their own highly-trained people do the job. Let some newbie fresh out of trade school do it for less than half the cost. The particular company I'm familiar with starts it's people at around $14.00 per hour with minimal benefits, and I see FedEx and UPS aircraft flying-in all the time. The major airlines also use this facility as well. Let's see. If UPS stopped out-sourcing this type of work, it wouldn't have to lay-off any mechanics. Hmmmm. [/QUOTE]
