If the 'Bean Counters' think that they can get heavy maintenance outsourced, let them try. We in the UK had some experience of outsourcing to the lowest bidder and when the aircraft came back to us it was in our hangar for longer than it was away. We were repairing the cock ups that were achieved by this so called maintenance outfit (cowboy outfit more like). So let them try. If they can get as good a job done outside, then I will be surprised.
