One thing I've learned is that is appears only American Airlines still does 100% of major maintenance within American.
You're interest has raised a few questions. Do you fly often? Do you own an American Vehicle? How do you feel about the price of your ticket?
I'm just curious 'cause it seems strange to me that you are so concerned about where an airline sends a plane for a heavy check. I'm sure that you are aware that between heavy checks that there are litterally thousands of hands that "inspect" an aircraft. Not all of those hands "inspecting" the aricraft are employed by the company whos logo is painted on the side of the plane.
Airlines fly thousands folks safely to their destination every day. You can be assured that NO pilot is going to fly an airplane that they feel is unsafe. It really doesn't make a difference where mx work is done, cause if your plane crashed due to a mechanical failure, someone will still find a way to blame the accident on pilot error.
