Great,,,maybe we can outsource ALL airline maintenance overseas. That would help keep down airline fares and help with airline profitability, right? Why don't all the other carriers outsource to other countries? After all, if it can be done cheaper there,,,,why in the world would we want the work done here?

Especially if we can get the work done in the quality, world-class, state-of-the-art engineering facilities in Costa Rica and El Salvador with all the high-tech engineers and technicians that those two countries have to offer? All that we have to do is send the FAA down there to inspect them, right?

BTW, George Soros now controls almost 17 million shares of JetBlue!!

Don't fly JetBlue!!

Costa Rica has a literacy rate comparable to the USA.

I work in the industry. You don't have to worry about too much maintenence outsourcing happening, due to 1. FAA regulations and 2. the logistics of the industry (not cost effective to outsource all maintenence out of country. A LOT MORE than labor costs are involved when maintaining a plane).

It all doesn't matter as every carrier save Southwest is losing money. We have WAY TOO MUCH capacity out there for the trunk carriers to return to profitability, no matter how much "cost cutting" they do.

BTW: I fly Continental, Southwest, and United (which may go bye-bye next year, most likely merging with another carrier). Never was impressed with Jet Blue, although Jeff Neeleman is a good guy.
