A380 Maintenance - The future
As it is apparent that there are many QF Engineers that peruse these threads, i would just like to take this opportunity to congratulate all those engineers who were successful in gaining a place in the 'Team A380' maintenance organisation. I'm sure some of those successful candidates have probably posted about the A380 on these very forums!
Despite commentary appearing elsewhere to the contrary, this is clearly an exciting opportunity in the history of Qantas Engineering, with investment in new technologies and training making QE a leading MRO throughout world aviation circles. It is a thrilling opportunity for these people who are standing at the threshold of a new dawn in aviation maintenance. And of course with the Boeing 787 'Dreamliner' arriving here in approx 12 months, this represents a very dynamic period in QE's operations. It is a credit to all that despite all the competitive pressures placed upon QE, they were still considered the preferred tender for A380 maintenance. The key now is to maintain that competitive advantage in this globalised market place.
Once again, congratulations to all, and all the very best for this exciting opportunity.
