Be careful what you wish for guys, it may just come true. 8 Hour rosters are not the best for families. If we have to go there, well so be it, but it should be a last resort when absolutly all else has failed. In the mean time we need patience and solidarity behind the executive team and their strategy. We need patience with ourselves and our colleagues. We need patience with our work ethic especially. We do not want to have any unsafe acts on the job.
4 hour stop work meetings provide media coverage for the Association. The biggest problem for QE is their hold items and slowly overrunning checks. This dispute is making management work overtime just to at their basic duties done.
Our actions cost Borgetti and the airline, not QE. Evetually the airline will hurt sufficent to rein in QE.
Pilots, during any stopwork by Engineers I suggest only use the techlog for defects. The CCL is a scam and does not have to be cleared by a lame on a transit of under 1 hour duration.
