Hi Dave, for IP if you like:

(link below, but this is all the text there is.  I don't have access to WSJ)

Some US Airlines Outsource Maintenance to Central America
 
There's more outsourcing of jobs -- now it's the airlines industry.

 The latest, preferred location for airline maintenance? El Salvador.

 The Wall Street Journal reports at least two airlines -- Jet Blue and
America West -- send their planes to El Salvador for "long distance"
maintenance, outsourcing the work to cut costs.

 Air safety experts are said be concerned that it jeopardizes safety and
makes scrutiny by regulatory agencies more difficult.
