Pay and conditions all in there, ones for scheduled engineering work the other for line maintenance employees.

Mate, if you can fix a crew seat you could well be in, just get to kalgoorlie with your tools. Nc1993 got diverted due to weather in ypph and low fuel, now grounded due to attendants seat! Lots of unhappy workers :-)

Actually, forget the tools- engineer flew down, signed the paperwork and we all got back seven hours later. The crew flew straight back on the next flight, much to the annoyance of the stranded pax. Another cobham classic:yuk:
Edited to add, the seat was not fixed- just signed for...

A cabin crew seat. If it was not in the MEL and there was not a LAME rated on type available then yes it would be normal to have to fly one in. Even though the seat may not have been fixed it may also not be so unusual to require some maintenance activity prior to release. It all depends on how the manuals are written.

The rated on type LAME is the key, - without one of them some things just cannot happen.

I would have thought it may have been possible to operate the flight on a reduced pax/reduced crew scenario but again some things are not always as they appear. You would have to imagine that there was more to it all.

Thanks for the posts, but was after a little more information as to what the company is like to work for. The EBA gives me a good start for the T&C but really after the "workers" point of view?

Anyone else care to comment?

I have been with cobham for most of the last 14 years. Personally think that they are one of the better operators to work for.

You must have had a pretty sheltered work life to think that. :p

Or a Sir Alan Cobham award nomination

just saying it as I see it. Military, GA , special mission and airline experience so I guess I have a little bit of experience to base it on :p

I can feel those awards rolling in already :O
