Outsourcing much of our maintenance work to the original equipment manufacturers and other specialized vendors -- the experts who know the equipment inside and out -- helps Southwest not only hold one of the best safety records in the industry but also provide its Employees unmatched job security.Outsourcing absorbs the peaks that develop within the maintenance schedule, rather than hiring additional Employees who might then be
furloughed once the work is complete. This also allows Southwest to focus on the core competencies.
