Big up yourself

Well done FED SEC
you have successfully done for free what QF have spent
Millions trying to achieve.
funny how everyone from all different areas of QF are
all saying the same thing.
Trick is now getting the information out to the people that matter
and can make a difference
The fact that these threads exist at all shows that qantas has a committed
workforce which is something outher companies struggle to achieve.
I am not scared of change, I am however scared of change for bonus sake

The single thing that killed syd heavy was sacking the support shop foreman.
That single act caused a massive drop in productivity and as a result were unable to support us. They had this new term called just in time support
And pie charts to prove it. A MH incentive

Line 1used to do a 747-300 D check with a strut Moran 32 days.
INCLUDING doing 2 super A checks in the middle.
When the support shops were re structured we lost that capability and H271
Ended up getting given to base maint.
Years later in qantas news there was an article in the industry news section
stating how KLM had just done a worlds best prectice 747-400 D check in 32 days
Talk about make my blood boil!
line 1 would do a 747-400 D check in 28 days with strut mod and 2 super A checks on other aircraft in the middle
Telling thing about the article was that qantas management actually have no idea what is going on, or the recources they have and how to utiilse them

Small front end savings giving greedy little managers a bonus causing
MASSIVE back end costs. But as management have told me time and time again "You dont understand the business"

And for f**ksake go and buy 777-300ER's so we can start operating properly
again

finally can someone smarter than me find a way of emailing this thread to the board or major shareholders
