[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 479710, member: 2193"] Some interesting notes from a recent article in Air Cargo World regarding this subject. "UPS says it has no intention of outsourcing line maintenance and appears rather bemused by the Teamsters' position. Since the last UPS mechanics contract was ratified in 2002, the airline has acquired more planes-and created more than 200 additional U.S.-based jobs. The company says major maintenance-apparently the focus of the Teamsters' campaign-is a highly specialized business and is not a core competence for a parcel delivery company. Having studied the option, UPS concluded that such a facility would cost "hundred of millions of dollars" and not be used for a quarter of any given year. So the company has contracted out non-line haul maintenance to FAA-licensed Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) facilities of which 90%, it says, are located in the U.S. Air Cargo World contacted the Teamsters national headquarters and Local 2727 to determine why the union should be including UPS in its "no outsourcing" campaign when line maintenance is not the same as heavy maintenance. No one was available for comment at press time." [/QUOTE]
