Members of the ALAEA, ladies and gentlemen,
We, Qantas LAME's, are about to do battle with a company that have millions of dollars perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars in reserve to fight with. Also the company have employed a few QF oldtimers and some desperate people seemingly willing to sell their souls for some short term cash. GD is also now firmly against us and this alone is making QF Engineering Management believe they are unbeatable!
Well GD, DC and the so called Engineering Management Team, you are about to realise the gravity of the situaton you have created.
100 or so old and partimers cannot run an airline of this size no matter what training you give them, or cash you have put aside.
If this is your only defense you deserve all that is coming, for your incompetance!!
There is no need to worry about the odd person who breaks ranks. The odd person will not make a difference! There is no need to worry about less than one hundred strike breakers, they simply do not have the numbers or the skills to cope!
Lets just give them all plenty to do!
Lets not forget the strength we have, it's impossible to replace us! The local work cannot be taken overseas! It must be done by competent, hard working personnel, willing to work to the extremeties of the law to make it financially viable.
BE VERY, VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT THIS FACT,
WE CAN AND WILL PREVAIL!
