Increased outsourcing of narrowbody A Check work

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

 

There is a rumor circulating that the modified provisions of Article 1.B.11 in the extension agreement would include A Check work. For purposes of the CBA, A Check work was never considered heavy maintenance under that provision, and as you will see in the email exchange below, that work would still not be considered heavy maintenance if the extension ratifies.

 

The order of the exchange is from bottom up.

 

Fraternally,

 

Vinny Graziano

Vinny,

 

I concur with your characterization of “A”-check work as not considered heavy maintenance under the current terms of Article1.B.11, and that characterization does not change under the terms of the extension agreement.

 

Best Regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,

 

This will confirm our discussion that narrowbody A-Check work has not been traditionally considered heavy maintenance under the provisions of Article 1.B.11, and that further, such A-Check work would not be considered heavy maintenance under the terms agreed to in the extension agreement.

 

If you agree with the above could please respond with your concurrence.

 

Regards,

 

Vinny Graziano
