mavrik1 question #29

mavrik1, there is still ample suitable engineering staff in QF at the moment to do the A380.

Yes they are older, but with decades of experience and can adapt in short time to be very proficient,
as has been done in the past. It is just that management want to drive an almighty wedge into the
engineering structure and break its back all for the sake of a few bucks and a bigger bonus. JHAS will help this happen.

If they do as it has been done over the last 50 years, ie train the older experienced LAMES
initially and let natural on the job training filter through the ranks there will be ample guys to fill the boots of the older ones who will leave in the next 10 years.

Do it now or it will be too late.

Older guys have loyalty to the old QF & Super schemes holding them at QF, younger guys have little or no loyalty to hold them there even once trained.
They, QF management, are so blinded by the tripe their bosses feed them and their lack of A/C background will not lead then to this path. Just the path of extinction.
