I received a letter today that was sent to Chairman Costello of the House Subcommittee on Aviation. The letter was jointly sent by Airline Division Director David Bourne as well as TWU Administrative International Vice President John M Conley and a copy can be found here. The letter is in response to a follow up request by Chairman Costello to the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Transportation to continue investigating the oversight of repair facilities.
If you haven't already seen the news that prompted Chairman Costello to request additional action, Jock posted it on the Seattle blog on the 22nd of December.
It's good to see the two largest Unions of airline mechanics working together on our behalf. Hopefully this is a partnership that continues to grow and benefits us years into the future.
