Re: United, FAA steps up oversight.

United has been outsourcing major work and heavy checks for years to the lowest bidder. You get what you pay for and United's payment is coming due. They should have kept these maintenance jobs in America for American workers with proper training and oversight. Not that many years ago we had the 777...

Re: Spirit operational challenges

The amount of abuse these contract employees face, I am surprised more have not just walked off the job. No benefits, below poverty pay wages, and constant abuse. Not a smart job to have. I fully support them all walking out.

Re: Airbus Takes Aim At Inconsistent Pilot Training Quality

Sounds like Airbus wants to ensure pilots know the aircraft. Last thing they want would be some inexperienced pilots with subpar training crashing some new NEO or similar aircraft. They certainly do not want to be in the position Boeing finds itself in today.
