Where is Albanese
Who cares where Albanese is. The dipstick would not know anything about aviation except what he is told to sprout. Unfortunate as it is, Qantas will never get back to the great days where it was the Australian Government Airline and there were no shareholders to satisfy. As for engineers signing off aircraft they would not have done in days past, if that is true, we all have to be concerned. Like TG, I'm no union man but if engineers are being forced into releasing aircraft they consider below par they need to dig in their heels and demand it stop. I'm sure any pilot worth his/her salt would expect no less and be supportive of his/her engineering staff.
