I especially remember a manager we worked under in the Perth base around the time of the AN collapse.
Talk about a positive vibe.
We all got on, the manager would come into briefings, sit on the lounge with us and talk to us before sign on,support as when required, occasionally attend "drinkies" with all of us at the Queens Hotel at Mt Lawley, organise social events and....................
.......................HE FLEW WITH US ON OPERATIONAL TRIPS.
Thats where this experiment has all gone wrong.
The people in the orifice have no idea of what we actually do OR how stuffed we feel; at the end of a 10hr QF 4 sector..........no wonder they could not answer their innane questions!!!!
Can we bring back Managers who fly OR have flown ?
Sure .....QF will never give us wimps who'll just roll over to our every command. BUT, watch "engagement" go up if we get people who support us and not their KPI's.
But then again I'm living in "fairy land".
This is a brave new world.
GREED IS GOOD.
........just ask any QF shareholder.
