Remainder of article from Crikey (for some reason it doesn't like it as one post)
Cox’s response to that fury is detailed in this note to staff on July 20.
However the situation is bad for Qantas as well as the union, because in failing to detect improper repairs in at least one of its jets, it recognises inadequate exercise of its responsibility for the professionalism and capabilities of its in-house engineering and the record keeping supposed to catalogue the service history of this and every jet in its fleet.
But as far as its argument against sending more maintenance work abroad is concerned the engineering union has kicked an ‘own goal’ and lost the match.
If neither Qantas or the unions can be trusted to get it right, isn’t the offshore solution more attractive than ever?
