Without the shift penalties the QLink wages for a fully licensed engineer is crap $61k
Hey Bigdog01, $61k is as you say, crap money (more money as an AME contracting by far). You guys used to have around 4 aircraft in the shed every night. Pull them appart then have them back on line the next day for the first departures. From here it is quite obvious the company is missing the main point. They were extremely lucky to have you guys doing this for them. If fact how did they get you guys to agree to it in the first place? I have known a few blokes who work there over the years and they reckon that all the work was done fairly early and you could get away at a reasable time. But that was back in the Shorts days. The Sydney guys work a rotating shift to give them a break from the nights, how come you guys did not do the same?
What is the local management doing? Their pride and joy in Brisbane is being ripped appart at the seams. Surely they are accountable for this!! It is a disaster for QLink, then paying third party companies huge sums to do what you guys did night after night.
No wonder guys are leaving. Are they ever going to attract people back? Maybe if the big Q realizes that the lower and middle managers have completely let down the Company, workers and paying passengers. Big chang is required. Word is spreading about the rubbish going down at QLink. I reckon the Mud will stick.
