HEY RAT, Faa rules are what I speak of, airlines here are 100% AMT. Chop shops get away with soybean farm help.
Spanner, Not all asian mro's. Most are getting better. But better often is equal to cost, so they seek another 3rd rate shop when the econemy rises in the region they were doing business in.
A reputable asian MRO offered a decade ago to pay half the gas for the ACMI MD-11 operator I was working for to keep the C--checks flowing. They had structures built to allow for 3 times the manpower on skin jobs. I did admire this and the work was good. Poor asian slugs with their wrists shot out from 18 hrs on a 6x is the cost we do not pay.
