Bleeder ,You obvoiusly dont work in Cairns. Or if you do you are one of the "Core group" that the DMM's have selected. Therefore you don't receive the victimisation/harassment/discrimination the rest of us cop!!
As for getting rid of the deadwood,you have to be joking.In Cairns you have lost some of the best engineers going around. (now they are working for the competition and taking your work )
In Cairns aircraft with nil defects transit without delay,but if one of the engineers with high moral happens to get even the slightest defect or an MEL application,you can expect a healthy delay.
The days are gone of cairns being a can do station. There is only a few competent engineers left and they aren't valued because they dont kiss ass!!!!
