If he is the clown that decided to spend millions and millions of dollars doing reconfigs and "D" checks on the remaining 747-300.(as well as the A330-200 decision), then I agree Calligula
It's like trying to run a limousine service with a 15 year old Holden Commodore.(we'll just put new seat covers on and the punters will never know!!!!!!!!!!).
The next great management decision is to sack all the heavy maint staff because they cost too much to do "D" Checks on these 15 yr old clunkers.(that's a surprise considering their age!!)
If the CIO is being spouted as some sort of management guru then I'll be @#$#@#. Not a day has gone by for the past 5 years when I haven't had multiple problems with computers at work . If they were mine I'd have thrown them out the window years ago. But what would I know!! I only need these computers to order parts and access maintenance manuals.
Don I think you must be a fair way away from from the coalface and the troops aren't quite getting the message that you are. You probably need to create a new position for "disemination of information to plebs" but I'm sure you can make it sound much more grander than that
Unfortunately THEY ARE the people that have made Qantas what it is today but I don't think too many staff are very appreciative of their efforts.
