Thanks Hi-speed. Will see fax tomorrow.
LAMEs following the thread should note that the best way we can handle issues is to have the PPM, Cross report, Form 500 etc.... Faxed to our office, then we are armed with the information so we can take it to CASA or the press as required.
Members just a brief thought. As Qantas now have limited manhours available to them it is important to remember that we must -
find more defects than we can fix
This doesn't mean we go overboard or do anything we would not normally do, we just do our job properly. In a normal situation, enough Qantas LAMEs are employed to find defects and fix the ones that are reported, found or work that is otherwise required.
When we have overtime bans, this does not mean that we should find less defects. The reduction in available hours must be applied to the other side of the equation. Hope this makes sense.
cheers
