I would not care whose name is at the top of the check as long as they spell my name right on the payee line.
I know your right. It all spends the same
Yup I worked for a British company once (in a different industry than aircraft) and ur are right , it all spends the same. The only negative thing was the layoff. I was told (about going home time) "Make sure you take all you things with you because this iast you last day". Well I didn't mind because I had taken the job to keep the wolf away from the door anyway. I danceed out of there.
**** WELL, WHY NOT!! SINCE HUGE AMERICAN COMPANIES HAVE OPERATIONS SET UP IN OTHER COUNTRIES and THEY HIRE OUT THEIR OWN COUNTRY'S NATIONALS, WHY NOT HAVE AB SET UP SHOP HERE AND HIRE SKILLED AMERICAN WORKERS, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT HAVE EXPERTISE IN THIS FIELD; AND LAID OFF FROM THEIR OUT-SOURCE JOBS (HAY, WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND)! AA IS LOOKING TO PURCHASE AIRBUS AIRCRAFT, AMONG OTHER CARRIERS, MAKES SENSE TO HAVE A QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE AIRBUS FACILITY HERE IN THE US. AN EMPTIED and NO LONGER USED MD-80 FACILTY SUCH AS LONG BEACH, or STL WHERE BOEING ONCE HAD A HUGE OPERATION WHEN IT TOOK OVER M.DOUGLAS'S OPERATION, BACK IN THE DAYS! STLOUIS SEEMS A GOOD PLACE W/A NEWLY REDISGNED AIRPORT AND FIELD, and THE "FACTORY" WOULD BE ON SIGHT OF THE ARPT. MAKES SENSE.
Oh Goody..another round of "how much is 13 and 5/8 inches in mm"
Actuallty Roland , MM is easier to use and has closer tolerences.
