How can a company rely on so much O/T.
Our engineering management were replaced by people who do not understand our business. Coles/Myer ex-CEO used to brag that he had never set foot inside of a supermarket for 5 years before he took the reigns, and look what happened to them.
Some of our Engineer managers were replaced by guy's who never turned a spanner on an aircraft. They then tried to tell us that Qf Engineering were on par with any other MRO, our safety record meaning nothing. They cut spending money on Tech training, but spent up bigtime on change management courses (telling us the public were no longer concerned with safety). Heavy maint Syd was shutdown, loosing years and years of experience overnight. More jobs were subsequently axed and we lost a lot of experience. The hangar still sits there mostly empty and unused.
Instead of exporting our management to other industries, we are importing them from other fields. I can go on and on, but won't.
