The allegation is serious. The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association of United Airlines has alleged that the company is actually outsourcing much more of its maintenance than what is allowed (I am not sure if that does mean more than the contract). It’s believed that outsourcing is 50% above limit according to the labor contract. Now an independent firm will be appointed by the union to look after the matter. United Airlines spokeswoman Robin Urbanski however denies all these and informed that an audit firm already been appointed by union has checked the matter and that second time review is quite inappropriate.
Robin Urbanski now feels that an unauthorized calculation is completely different from what all parties have approved and have been in use for last 10 years without dispute.
