Another patch up after overseas MRO C check
Seems our brothers in the north are doing some work on an aircraft just returned from an overseas MRO. While the defects are not 'a/c grounding' its another example of an unreasonable standard of service that QE are prepared to accept at the demise of our HM industry in Australia.
Middle management apparently sort the names of all engineers working on the aircraft and read the riot act regard company privacy and leaks to the media. It is just embarrassing that our iconic national airline prevents transparency of it's business for fear of questioning by the media or the public. QE are at a terrible position and middle management should be ashamed they partner this disgusting path the Qantas board is directing. Sure it's a minor percentage of our HM work in Australia but the wedge is getting bigger and senior management will continue to drive the wedge to the legal limit in accordance with the Qantas Sale Act.
Of course the planned service keeps getting put back until it's clean and tidy. The defects appeared minor in nature apart from a two which were related to an auxiliary power unit not starting and a degraded engine that occurred en route.
All this is rumour of course, I can't confirm if it is true. Perhaps a journo might want to ask a question of Olivia?
