Outsourced Airline Repairs Raise Concerns in the US
The U.S. Congress is examining a recent increase in the outsourcing of airline repairs and maintenance and federal inspectors' ability to monitor them.
The amount of airline repairs and maintenance outsourced to private and foreign companies by American airlines increased from 37 percent in 1996 to the current 64 percent, according to a report. A Transportation Department official said work outsourced to foreign companies is a significant amount.
Critics of the new repair structure said the work leaves the airliners exposed to possible terrorists and is not subject to the same regulations and inspections that in-house repairs are.

Is US Blind to Dangers of Foreign Outsourcing?
Is US Blind to Dangers of Foreign Outsourcing?
By Thomas Emmon Pisano, Seoul Times Columnist on The outsourcing of American manufacturing
"To answer the above stated question, yes America is oblivious to what is happening to her economy, society, standards, and its people because of foreign outsourcing. We, as Americans, run many risks because of the utilization of off shore manufactured goods and raw materials. I have come to this conclusion about outsourcing; through an unfortunate and rude awakening, this reporter has discovered that as hard as overseas manufactures and service providers may try, their products are inferior to domestically manufactured goods and services, " says the author in this note.

By Scott Harris, Fish & Richardson PC, March 27, 2007
Legal costs for patent work have seen astronomical increases, and many companies are under pressure to reduce their patent costs. This has led many companies to lower-cost providers of patent work.
A number of Indian patent outsourcing companies do patent work at a billing rate at one-tenth of the billing rates from top-tier U.S. firms.
Yet many don't realize the significant disadvantages and difficulties that flow with Indian outsourcing, and even malfeasance that may lead to criminal acts, says this article.
