this is not a good time to be planning any sort of fight with qf management stand out on the plank and it will be cut from under you !
the really sad part of all this is that some of the factions within eaa have very short memories and continue to believe in their own self importance - have a look around and see how many new divisions qf have started in syd of late - yes they have a plan to move much of their operation right out of syd as it has long been known that it is their very worst enemy right back from the days when the show was owned by the government some seniors have now even admitted that closing ssa was a poor call and one of those responsible is no longer on the payroll it was at the time a geographical decision and not one based on efficiency and work culture
for those of you that were about some 15 years ago ask some questions as to why the regional pilots (eaa/ssa/saa) did not get career progression into qf and the f/a's did wonder why that is so ? sadly not many seem to accept the truth about this including the oldies in the afap who I believe helped screw it for good
think about it guys the inbred culture in eaa and other sectors of qf that are in syd are slowly being pulled apart bit by bit it is the only way to progress the group as a whole eg - why dont you compare the sick leave in all the ql bases and then ask why is it so high at one port this costs heaps and if you dont think something needs to be done then you are living in never never land
the 400 is a great machine and those that get to fly it will no doubt enjoy the experience but you can bet that trying to screw qf for more $ is not going to be a winner and will only lead to more (all) of the a/c being crewed by ssa as now seems to be the case after that you can bet that more and more will be crewed out of bne and mel and maybe even cbr
embrace the change chaps it is almost upon you
