Well, the full interview transcript certainly makes for interesting reading.
One thing's for sure, major changes are afoot. Widebody certainly has the spotlight on them right now, and whilst the CEO's comments may be reassuring to the guys working at Tulla, it's only a matter of time before they get to the narrowbody maintenance as well.
I figure that the guys in Sydney will probably cop in in the neck first and hardest. What becomes of Brisbane and Avalon is anybody's guess. However, I get the impression that we're going to be working a lot more for a lot less in order to maintain jobs in Australia.
Sad that nowadays, if anybody leaving school were to ask me my thoughts on a career in RPT aircraft maintenance, I'd have to tell them to give it a wide birth. Unless you're prepared to put up with no job security and an ever decreasing income in real terms.
