Romulus you MAY be able to "do things more efficiently" than Qantas in the long term. In the short term I believe you have no hope.
Based on my understanding of block hour costs and the difference between VB and QF I beg to differ. That's not to be argumentative, that's to apply my no BS belief.

But then, I guess that's my job.

That quality and turntime is definetely deteriorating in the last few years.
So perhaps we can be more efficient....

However that is not the fault of the workers at the coal face but is a calculated decision by management to cut costs.
Based on the block hour costs it seems there's less cost cutting than you would think.

I can assure you that Qantas of 5 years ago was way more efficient than these companies in my experience and even now with numerous quality and turn time issues QF would still probably s$%t on them.
You may not like me saying it but the hard figures say something very different. That's not to be confrontational, that's to give you a bit of insight into how we came to our decision to go with the AAES opportunity

I do appreciate your informative posts. It is refreshing to see a manager communicating effectively.
Well, effective to some, Wingers seems to think it's a waste....

However, I have still not received an email to say that you have even received my application (2 now the first one over 5 weeks ago). It appears that your organisation operates at the same glacial speed as other large companies such as QF,Thales, Rolls-Royce, Kellog Brown & Root, Honeywell etc.

Maybe you could show us some of the JHAS effeciency and flexibility and post a little bit less on PPrune and help Jenny out with the job application replies.
Will check it out.
