Greetings, fellow aviation professionals!


You may be aware that the lames at Qantas are about to start protected industrial action,

One possibility for retaliation by Qantas management would be to employ strikebreakers to fill our jobs, if there is a stop work.


These strike breakers more than likely will not hold complete qualifications on the aircraft you fly.

Most likely they will be familiar with lower technology aircraft, or only be partly trained.


These Engineers may be given "Transit Authority Approval"

This basically means that the Transit Authority holder may release aircraft to service as long as there are no defects requiring a fully qualified engineer to make a determination of airworthiness.



Lames around the network would really appreciate that if it gets to this point......


Make sure that if you find a defect during your normal duties......

especially if you think it's trivial or you're not sure......



Put it in the book



hopefully this simple action will blunt the effectiveness of the strikebreakers


Thanks to all,

Yours in professional fellowship,

NMDhold



Edit......

Fellow Lames,

I have been unable to post this letter across multiple threads because it was pointed out by a moderator that it could be seen as spamming the forum.

It might be an idea to print off this post or something similar and place copies where Flight and Cabin crew may peruse it.


All the best,

NMDhold
