i got a email from one of my mates in aae last week and it seems there is more to this than meets the eye.......i have deleted and edited for brevity and relevance.................
Buon giorno *******,
Thank you for your hospitality on our recent
On the work front, things are more chaotic now than they were just after the Ansett collapse. They still havent found a replacement for Bucks (who we have since found out, stuck it to Qantas re the 727 replacement) after they sacked him and we have been without a CEO for some time now
The 737 program I was telling you about has been nothing short of a disaster and may well turn out to be one of the greatest corporate decision f**k ups in QF history
We were told that EFA (Express Freighters Australia read QF or Express F**K up Again!) would have four 737s up and running by the end of December
. They only have one and that has to be helped out every second night with a couple of Metros down to Tassie because it cant carry the load. We were told they dropped the first one and wrote it off and because they are taking more care with the next three our four may not be up and running by March 07. Meanwhile, NJS are selling the 727s so we may not have them in the New Year either. I have heard that Australia Post are not happy with the situation and if they bail out, we shall all be looking for a new job.
Its a cock up of mammoth proportion but I still have our lotto numbers in every week end!........................................................ ............................................................ .......
looks like dicko could have stuffed this one up...........plenty of work up here with cx freight if anyone wants a job............
