If....
If i get this right, QF are letting things roll on as is whilst they 'grow' there alternative workforce. The ALAEA in the meantime can maintain aircraft safety by trying to limit inappropriate personel pretending to fix aircraft, and as a consequence the defects that can't be actioned due to lack of manpower will build up and up. Am I correct so far....
My only question, what if... During the ALAEA dispute over superannuation in the late 70's/early 80's the domestic airlines TAA and Ansett rewrote their Procedures Manuals (CAA endorsed it) effectively removing all of the Australian ports except Melbourne as maintenance ports. Question is how will CASA receive Qantas currently with similar graciousness?
