I have now seen a industry have heavy aircraft maintenance and flight line maintenance outsourced to third party states (non-union contractors) and countries for years (Singapore) and now the wages I started out with in the industry ($13.50--with benefits) are now only $5.00 more ( $18.50 without in a lot cases without a defined benefit package------401k scam) for some starting out in the industry today.
