Wish we had an airline mechanic on here. Wondering if they are out sourcing maintenance like they did with the UPS trailers.

Terrible in any snow


Most definitely

I seen that and felt it was something overlooked on an inspection. Engine falling off.

A well taken care of 34 year old plane is just fine. Isnt average age of B-52s 50 yrs old?

I’ve been told a small amount of C & D checks are outsourced. Dunno.

I believe it had spent like a month @ST Aviation in San Antonio of some corrosion and other fixes. I think this same company also did the conversions to freighter for UPS and maybe FredEx. Accident reminded me when I was a kid of AA 191 when improper maintenance caused the engine/pylon to tear off the wing.

Was it well taken care of?

Dunno wasn’t involved.I would say it was.Acceptable at least. Those senior pilots and A&P mechanics have a lot riding on it. This aint no podunk 50 car center where shenanigans are going on.

Like parts on order or scheduled?

Unless it was outsourced...

Old news UPS has laid off more than 150 Teamster mechanics since February 2009. In the meantime, the company is outsourcing maintenance work overseas.
