My guess is that, with the Democrats in control, and several million out of work in the US, the AABO boys should probably dust off the old CV. Congress will not stand for outsourcing anymore - that goes for MX as well as pilots.
I hope you had a fun few years of flying boyz.
Teamsters Lobbying Effort
The Teamsters Airline Division remains dedicated to ending foreign aircraft maintenance outsourcing and is fighting for an amendment to the 2009 stimulus package that would place a temporary moratorium on this practice. Captain Bourne will be calling upon all Teamsters to assist in this important effort by signing an on line letter and placing calls to the offices to urge Congressional leaders to support this amendment.
A Teamster consultant, Jack Albertine, has been visiting politicians on the hill for the past two weeks in order to build support. Bob Fisher from United IAD has also attended some of these important meetings. Our aircraft mechanics from California and Massachusetts have been focusing a call in and letter writing campaign on Speaker Pelosi, Senator Boxer and Senator Kennedy. Without the green light from these distinguished politicians our moratorium amendment will not see the light of day.
