reracker,
Now keep in mind here, I'm just a veteran ramp rat earning my Airframe & Powerplant certification--maybe the slow guy from Alabama would prefer to be your source on this--but yes; that's pretty much the way it is across the board here from what I've seen.
I have a good friend who works the one man outstation here for Kitty Hawk (holds both A&P and Avionics cert.s) and he is required to call their op.s center with repair information. I know it drives him up the wall to have someone who's never been on the flightline tell him when or how much to do, but that's life.
