Who gives a flying F*@K if there are scabs doing A Checks in LAX!!!
Last time I counted , 747's made up less than 25% of the mainline fleet, and Qantas always reports that most of the profits come from the domestic fleets anyway.
At the end of the day,it will still require the guys in BASE to provide serviceable aircraft if they want the product that they bang on about to remain top notch.
Plus how many of these "contractors" are only at QF in LAX because some slippery eel has dangled A380 training in their face.If they dont get training,they will walk.
Just ask the pommies in LHR.They will tell you that the money is not the best,but the training is fantastic.Just wait until all these "foreign contractors" are all trained up,because you know they wont be still working for Qantas 2 years from now.
Why,because they will be killing it as contractors somewhere else.
And guess who will be covering the aircraft in LAX & LHR?
Base Maint,thats who................
