It's true. Since bmi laid off a lot of the hangar staff at EMA, most maintenance is now being outsourced to Tel Aviv, though I heard some might soon be being done in Eastern Europe. When the aircraft return from their checks out there, most of the time the bmi engineers are still coming back to give the aircraft a once over. The remaining bmi engineers were told they'd only have one bay in the hangar and deal with an occasional overnighter, but on some nights there are 3 Boeings in there and the occasional Airbus. The Boeings aren't going anywhere for some time though, the oldest aircraft in the fleet are only 15 years old and are holding the schedule together, just.
