Does anyone know the news on the NZ engineers? They've managed to avoid all media it appears.
Unfortunately the redundancies have started there as well, large numbers were given their notices on Wednesday.
Ginger Bears had similar issues to the jet pilots where a lot of the older boys close to retirement put their hands up to go early but Air NZ management turned it down becasue it's cheaper to get rid of the younger boys and girls.
Bloody shame.
