Flyer Beware, the first segment of the series The Outsourcing Report: Exporting America's Future, examines the safety and security consequences of the airline industry's increasing reliance upon outsourcing carrier maintenance.

Now, the airline industry (including nine of the nation's major airlines) outsources more than 50% of its maintenance to workers who receive far less training.
