GT: What a muppet.
Armchair critic sums him up very well.
Perhaps GT should get down to the shop floor for a week or so and have a shot at reality swinging a spanner (if anyone would let you near one), then perhaps you might understand the situation better; have a look around, see what state the place is in, use the clapped out IT system to order a part which is more often than not rarer than hens teeth, admire the recent hangar painting and ponder how that improves workers productivity over investing in GSE maintenance and equipment to enable people to actually do the job properly.
I know; how about you take a look at some of the aircraft with defects sitting around that come out of these "world class" facilities with components whose repairs/overhauls have been outsourced and ask yourself how could it be so if it was all done at a "world class" level? (looking in H271 at a certain 747-400 that's sitting there would be a good start at the moment)
You may not be a lapdog for QF, but you really don't have a clue what goes on, yet you go on Sunrise and sprout that dribble about engineers that I have personally seen work very hard to get a product of quality out in an environment which seems to be pitched at nearly any level you care to think of to prevent it happening by management.
Christ, 3%, salary sacrifice for a laptop and to be allowed to buy (not be given) your own membership to the Qantas Club is nothing in comparision to what these professionals give in good will to QF.
Go back to your rocking chair.
