This morning, after months of frustration for the guys from sydney heavy the axe has finaly fallen. The "Don't Come Monday" Letters were issued to the remaining Lames and Ames that were not in a position to leave Sydney and move interstate to facilities that are under the same stinking review that sydney was under.
The manager from ACS reportedly stated that he had no room for the 14 or so guys because they would be "a risk to his business" and that his business " had taken a tremendous shock to absorb all of the people that it has and we cant possible fit in any more".
SHAME QANTAS SHAME.
The next 744 is shortly going to Singapore for it's D check and and apparently AVV is not getting any for a while as they can't cope with the load.
If you are a Lame with qantas it is now your duty to be extra vigilant to ensure that Australian standards are maintained to ensure the safety of all that fly with the rat...they may be your families.
Qantas management is a joke and an embarrassment.
They don't plan maintenance and say what it will cost, they get told how much to spend and try to work to unrealistic budgets, budgets that get squeezed tighter every year.
At some stage, before too long I expect, the savings will no longer be achievable and the result will be the end for maintenance in Australia.
They are not managers, they are puppets for the bonus driven board.
