US regulators worried about aircraft outsourcing
Turkmenistan News.Net Sunday 5th October, 2008
A US government report has said nine US airlines outsourced more than 70 percent of their major aircraft maintenance last year.
Contractors overseas did most of the work in Canada, Mexico and countries in Central America and Asia.
The Transportation Department's inspector general said the outsourcing had become a concern because the Federal Aviation Administration had failed to closely track how much maintenance was being farmed out and to whom.
The report said airlines had continued to shift their heavy airframe maintenance from their own in-house mechanics to outside sources in an effort to save money.
The outsourcing issue has been source of controversy for the agency for several years as it is not able to fully oversee the work.

US regulators worried about aircraft outsourcing
Of course its a Problem! Leaders not leading! Leaders stealing by not managing! Not making decisions based on Interests of All Americans, that provided the License to do Business in the USA!
These so called Leaders merely want bigger bonuses more pay for themselves rather than leading the growth of the corporation and the nation! Not performing the reason they were given a Corporation License!

Fire FAAilure Bobby Sturgell
Count Bobby Sturgell a/k/a Graf Bobby Sturgell, Ne’er-Do-Well Fool Legacy Case

Episode #5: âActing Countâ Bobby Sturgell And His Vacuous FAA, Outsource American Jobs And Thereby Eviscerate American Homeland Security
V.O.: âThe FAAilure, That Is FAA Acting Administrator Robert Allan (âBobbyâ) Sturgell.â
Title: âCount Bobby Sturgellâ a/k/a âGraf Bobby Sturgellâ, Neâer-Do-Well Idiot Legacy Case.
Introduction: For a primer on the century-or-more-old fictional Viennese public-domain comic character âCount Bobbyâ (in the German, âGraf Bobbyâ), and a contemporary explanation as to why failed pro tempore FAA Acting Administrator Robert Allan (âBobbyâ) Sturgell is the consummate perfect âActorâ for the same role, please:
http://excludesturgell.blogspot.com/
* * * * * * * *
Please, wonât you join us again now, as we take this opportunity to review yet ANOTHER of the past yearâs most stark and notable past Episodes of âCount Bobby Sturgellâ a/k/a âGraf Bobby Sturgellâ?
In Episode #5, foolish Count Bobby Sturgell once again finds himself strangely-enough âin chargeâ of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) across the pond from Vienna in the United States of America, and thereupon responsible for aviation safety and security matters affecting his âagencyâ. It is also a fair and lawful conclusion that a federal official like the Acting-Head is charged with the responsibility of doing no negligent, reckless, or deliberate harm to the American economy, American work-force, or American worker.
Yet how in the world could it be, that this slither-of-bureaucracy âBobbyâ concluded it to be prudent to allow outsource of aircraft maintenance to FOREIGN REPAIR STATIONS, INADEQUATELY SUPERVISED? To âCanada, Mexico, and countries in Central America and Asiaâ?
How could it be possible that you, Bobby Sturgell, would look the other way?...
Oh and by the way, Graf Bobby â why, again, is it that you feel continually compelled to treat the American labor force with derisive contempt, and support a scheme guaranteed to suck even more American jobs out of the country like one of your permitted defective jet engines sucking flocks of birds and airport feral cats to their death in and around Jamaica Bay?
And while you are at it, remind us again, Graf Bobby Sturgell, why you are STILL in office at FAA?
Pretty, pretty silly, Graf Bobby Sturgell! - You legacy-case dimwitted minus! Or was this REALLY just a simple case of your innocent ignorance alone, Count Bobby? - you aeromercantile underside.
