If QF wanted to change the DMMs positions would they have to declare the positions redundant and pay out the encumbents, or make them reapply for the new jobs?
That would sort out the men from the boys!
It would appear that the managers perspective is that all of the troops are bludgers. Maybe they dont understand all of the "goodwill" that has accumulated over the years.
When the "goodwill' runs out then, and only then will we see Muzza's brave new world take over.
Mean and hungry LAMEs willing to do what it takes to make a plane fly in the most economical ways possible to the detriment of the long term reliability of the fleet and the confidence of the flying public.
