To lease prime position land to QF for a hangar at LAX is cheaper than the land cost at Bankstown Airport !.
With aerospace engineer salaries in the USA averaging USD76,000 per annum will we see more QF maintenance performed by the 100+ QF maintenance staff at LAX.
One week after the meeting to secure the land at LAX QF entered into a engineering services agreement with Aviation Technical Services (ATS) a USA based provider of 737 maintenance, overhaul and engineering services.
Will we see QF 737's undergo overhaul at LAX in the future ???

Our good friend Nasty has been doing some shopping
Basically means, we would like your Mexicans to look and see nothing and we'll pay for the fixed price servicing. We've been running an industrial agenda, and sparing no cost, to screw our Aussie LAMEs, whilst they bask in the sunshine of their new EA.
Everett, Washington (October 9, 2014) ― Aviation Technical Services (ATS) and Qantas recently entered into an Engineering Services Agreement, which focuses on improving efficiency and reducing the maintenance cost of Qantas’ fleet of more than 75, Boeing 737 aircraft. The program will enhance elements of Qantas’ aircraft maintenance program through multiple phases of improvement that target everything from availability of material to utilization of personnel. For this project’s work scope, ATS will draw upon its extensive Boeing 737 maintenance, overhaul and engineering experience.
“It is our intent to synchronize this knowledge with some of our legacy concepts towards program optimization,” said Chris Nassenstein, Qantas Executive Manager of Engineering. “Aircraft maintenance programs constantly evolve and there is a point in time where years of addressing potential concerns inherently get embedded into each and every check. We want to step back and reassess what and how we should be managing our maintenance program.” He also added, “Reliability statistics measured against other operator benchmarks should be reviewed and challenged—we want a solution that focuses on safety and managed reliability, balanced against cost effectiveness.”
“We are very pleased to expand our relationship with Qantas to the engineering platform, recognizing that a total value solution is paramount to managing and reducing operator costs,” stated Matt Yerbic, ATS President and CEO.
