as the ALaea gave qantas a huge black eye during the recent pay 'negotiations' I don't think there is any love lost between these two entities. Having said that, apparently there were recent meetings of QF managment (cox, hyland and maybe a couple of others) and ALAEA members (president, secretary and maybe a couple of others) and the upshot of these meetings was that the past is the past and cannot be undone, but we must work together to get QF engineering back to what it was a few years ago.
So, according to a notice promulgated by the ALAEA, we are entering a new phase of our relationship with QF and as such we will strive to work for the best outcome for each other - notice the lack of comment from ALAEA executives following the QF72 incident? Every one was putting the slipper in to an already wobbly opponent, except the engineers.
Strange then how QF are nurturing this relationship by providing A330's for Cathay engineers to do PCT in Cairns? Are they going to take over the PornStar contract around the network?
