DL also outsources maintenance in smaller stations which could explain the UA Tech Ops guy...I saw AA line maintenance onboard a while back (can't remember exactly where).
Happens for all airlines. No point in having a line station at an airport with only a few flights a day and no planned checks.
I would have to go back and look but I think OOG was a line station till DL cut TechOps bone deep +40% in bankruptcy.
