Hey guys, chill out! We do maintenance for other operators and do just as good a job as on our own machines. Not all operators are large enough to do their own "heavy" work, and doing other people's checks also makes our own facility cost effective. Which it wouldn't be if we only did our own.

I must add however, that we started doing our own because of our experiences with HAECO and MAS. HAECO could never fit our aircraft in at the right time, and once in their hangar they always gave priority to Cathay casualties. MAS built in more corrosion than they ever took out and they billed us more for "consumables" than the price of the basic check!
