"Hangar No. 1 at San Salvador's airport is hopping. Technicians employed by jet maintenance contractor Aeroman swarm over Airbus planes belonging to JetBlue Airways, US Airways, and Ukraine's Donbassaero, checking electrical systems, replacing carpets, and examining engines and flaps for signs of corrosion or defects. Just outside, more jets from US Airways and Air Tanzania wait their turn. Why the rush to this tiny Central American country? Starting pay at Aeroman in El Salvador is around $4,500 a year, while veterans take home perhaps $15,000. In the U.S., airplane mechanics earn an average of $52,000 annually."

ANY QUESTIONS ?

Service may be part of the problem but the design and manufacture of the planes is equally at fault.

Boeing is a disaster.

Yes. What’s your point? Spell it out. Is it about unions? Min wage? Diversity?

It'd be better if airplanes that carry hundreds of people were maintained in a country where the average iq isn't borderline retarded. Those are my thoughts are least.

Mostly Unions, a bit minimum wage, and of course there is diversity.

It's mostly diversity, not unions or minimum wage.

Unions are 90% of the time, American Communist.
