Four 757 C-Checks Outsourced / DFW 737 B-Check to SFO
AA will be sending four 757 Heavy C-Checks to TIMCO, no later than November 1, 2011.
In the meeting at AA HDQ September 29, Local 565 President
Gary Peterson and VP Gary Schaible were notified that the decision was already
made, not open for discussion. Local 565 will file a 29(d)1 on behalf of the
Local membership if the TWU International does not file a 29(d) for the system.
Also, it has been confirmed by Ken Durst that a 737 B-Check
will be moved from DFW to SFO starting next week. Local 565 found out late
evening September 29 and attempted to stop this decision by AA management (Ken
Durst) on a noon conference call. Mr. Durst decided to go this route and agreed
to stand before the affected B-Check crew to explain the rationale for his
decision, sometime in the next week or two.
