  • @zebidee55: Your logic in saying the Japanese should buy their own 747

    JM: False premise. The mistake made on the JAL123 incident was a human error. What happened at Firestone was a deliberate corporate crime. Again, the JAL123 incident does NOT point up inferior American maintenance, and further more if they don't like it, they can design and build their own 747 and do 100% of the maintenance. It could have happened even on their own equipment.

  • @JetMechMA tell me when and where brother.

  • You people have your head up your ass. The horse has already left the barn. The damage is already done. Our nation has ALREADY been transformed into the haves and the have-nots. ALL the infrastructure has already been dismantled. It's too late to go back to the good old days, if there ever were any good old days. The only thing left to do is revolution. To fight back against the ultra-wealthy elites that did this to us. That's all we have left.

  • @zebidee55 What kind of a world do we live in anyway? A person does everything they should, they live right, get the training that they said would secure their fututre, and then in the middle of the game they change the rules...except it's too late to start over again. We only have one life to live. You don't get second chances. Once you reach a certain age....for them to steal your pension and totally eliminate your standard of living. We may as well start the revolution.

  • @zebidee55: m not saying foreign maintenance is better than US, but are you telling me Lufthansa Technik and SIA Engineering can't service planes?

    JM: I don't know what you mean by that. The topic here is outsourcing work that was formerly done "in-house". THAT's the topic. Every airline worker should vehemently oppose outsourcing and should take job actions to protest it. If the airline I work for wants to outsource all the in-house work, we should force them into liquidation.

  • @JetMechMA WTF?! "With us or against us"?! Pull your head in, cowboy. Firstly, I'm not American, so don't 'traitor' BS me. Secondly, I work in the real world - planes go everywhere, and get serviced by a lot of people. If British Airways or Qantas needs a C check done on their 747s, do they have to ship it back to the manufacturer? Of course not.

    I'm not saying foreign maintenance is better than US, but are you telling me Lufthansa Technik and SIA Engineering can't service planes?

  • The Jetblue incident at the very beginning?....it was a software error in the fly-by-wire system...had nothing to do with maintenance. It was used out of context in this video. The fact is, outsourcing is proven safe and effective. It's been going on for decades and the feared crashes haven't materialized. We Americans are opposed to outsourcing our trade because we are opposed to outsourcing our trade. If I don't have a wrench in my hand I'm going to fill that empty hand with a gun.

  • @zebidee55: Your logic in saying the Japanese should buy their own 747

    JM: That doesn't stand to reason at all. But what I said DOES stand to reason. The fact that our guys were human and made a human error in no way means that our maintenance is inferior to foreign maintenance. Only traitors promote foreigners over Americans. All hyperbole aside...only TRAITORS support outsourcing now days. You better get your head on strait about that. Are you with us or against us? Choose sides.

  • @JetMechMA The crash I was referring to was China Airlines Flight 611. Similar circumstances to JAL123, but more relevant to this video.

    Your logic in saying the Japanese should buy their own 747 and the implication that unless they build their own, they deserve what they get is equivalent to saying people deserve to crash driving on Firestone tires because they didn't make their own tires at home.

  • @JetMechMA I don't recall saying anything against America in my comment.
