I think you people are spot on with your comments..
What about the KC room plaque. Is the little bloke going to collect it to hang in the pool room at home. Has it been replaced maybe by a Texas Tony plaque?
What a mess and QF will just walk away from it as they always intended.
KC made any visits to AVA lately or is he missing in action?

Jethro. Never mind the Sydney HM Qantas guys that you forstaff guys stole jobs from huh? Should I put it that way? No I shouldn’t. But I did anyway.
Like I said, I hate to see people lose their jobs but in reality........
Did it ever occur to you throughout your career with forstaff as to why you guys were not Qantas employees?
Did the penny not drop when the Brisbane facility was opened and staffed by full time Qantas employees rather than labour hire staff such as yourself?
Did you ever wonder why between at least 2003 and 2012 (from my own personal observations) virtually no investment was made in Avalon apart from a coat of Dulux Nassenstein White?
Sadly, despite what managers may have told you, there was never a light at the end of the Avalon tunnel. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you can move on. It's sad. It's bloody disgusting. But it’s reality buddy.
As for the rest of us HM blokes who have dodged Sydney and Tulla closures and cornered ourselves in Brisbane, our time will no doubt come one day.

Surely Jethro is a troll.
He throws something out there, waits for replies, but doesn't actually answer anyone's replies, ever.
You know what they say about feeding the trolls.

If it's over as Jethro thinks why have we not yet heard of any MROs being touted by the company as the new 747 service providers. Would of thought something would of leaked out by now.
Jethro I just wanted to share with you that the only other person to ever state that Forstaff employee's we're not contractors to my knowledge was the last manager of MEL heavy maint. I would hope you aspire to be a bit better than that seedy character or was he someone you admired ?

Forstaff employee's are not contractors They are fulltime employee's of Forstaff working under Fulltime employment conditions for Forstaff .
Forstaff is a contractor or has some other form of agreement with Qantas to provide the labour .

Cat A's wont replace LAMES I don't believe. They cant sign for troubleshooting ect. Ames do the wheel changes anyway most of the time and I believe they can just sign for simple routine tasks such as these, no?

Like it or not Cat A will replace the LAE. Here in Europe (of which Auss is following by a few years), the numbers of LAE's especially in the Line environment has reduced in all the companies/stations I have been involved with. What ever spin the management come out with, the Cat A is a God send to them. Cheaper certifying staff. Yes agreed the Cat A is limited in what they can sign for but take a realistic look at the majority of the work carried out on the line. Transit, (even done by flight crews so Cat A is a step up !) Daily, weekly, monthly checks, or whatever they are called at your place of work. Wheels, brakes, lights, minor cabin items such as boilers, toilet changes, etc etc. All can be done by Cat A. (with variations in each company). Yes they cant troubleshoot but be honest and look at the percentage of signatures in a log and the type of jobs, a majority can be (and will be) done by Cat A. The numbers of LAE's per aircraft will decline....you are to far down the CaT A route now...good luck...

So the ALAEA put a "secret" proposal to Qantas almost 3 weeks ago did they? A proposal that forces us to take anywhere between 3 to 5 months without pay per year. And when did they discuss this proposal with us workers and sought our support?
Mistake number one was to put the proposal to Qantas in the first place as it offers no long term solution to the bigger problem.
Mistake number two was to make the offer "secretely" without all of us having some say.
Mistake number three was to then go to the media and claim that somehow we, those directly impacted, supported the proposal assuming Qantas had agreed.
Steve, the day the Association decides to become a dictatorship, you lose my membership, my respect and my support. Today is that day.
