This week I'm attending the MRO America's conference in Dallas Texas. They are expecting between 8 and 9 thousand participants this year. I'm tweeting live as the conference happens. A couple of interesting facts, MRO workers in the southestern United States make similar wages to third world nations, the airline industry has learned that having competing lobbying interests has been bad for the industry and they are now acting like a union and lobbying with one voice, and growth in North America over the next ten years is expected to be flat.
Look for more reports over the next two days.

Today's session is starting with a seminar on SMS
