LAME , thanks for the info , but I can't help being slightly confused that Qantas would want to move some of it's maintenance to NZ when according to Ultralights from a previous thread 'shortage... we told you so ' they tried to recruit & only 5 engineers got the job . Perhaps they have managed to de-skill the role to the extent where they intend to employ some sheep to carry out the work & why not as the rest of flying public think we're all grease monkeys anyway . No offence to any Kiwi's reading this .
