Wojtek-
I think to be fair, you oughta distinguish here between USA Willytown, WVA, and the new USA Cincinnati....a new entity since last summer.
To my knowledge there has been no Cinncy engine, no Cinncy repair that has had a bearing failure since last Sept when they solved that problem...a problem hidden and passed on from WVA. If they are to be criticized in any respect, then perhaps it's their naivete in not looking deeper into WVA's problems before sale...and then taking the pipe in bending over backwards satisfying WVA's customers that got burned.
I believe you are in that category, no? And Jack Holland's 450....was that a Cinncy repair, or a WVA engine Cinncy actually had nada to do with? Folks are right to be pissed at Jim W.......make that clear....but why transfer that rancor and all the innuendo USA's way?

USA AMT Field Rep
Because he is in the right. Period. It's not only disingenous, but contrary to the law, for AMT Cincy to think they can just take over the line and the name and not the liability. And it's just bad business. Was whatever they charged Woj to repair his dud engine WORTH all this? They need to honor the warranty. No less.
If he takes them to court(what I would have done already, it's a $4500 paperweight), he will find the law is not going to accept the "no backsies!" type of defense("oh, now we are Advanced MINIATURE Turbines, not Advanced MICRO Turbines!"), it does not work that way. Hope we never find that out. But I'm right, any lawyer worth his salt would clean AMT's clock in a heartbeat.
That's up to Woj, he can keep sending this engine and his Visa card number around the country, or he can use legal means to get remedy, but I just wanted to weigh in my useless two cents, and say it's neither right nor realistic nor legal, and I hate to use this word, "fair", for AMTusa to run from their responsibility, and nobody should be condoning it, either.
Jetcat would never pull this. AMTnl would never do this, either.
