we are have a bit of thread drift.......
Are we, not how I see it.
I have been led to believe that these EBA negotiations (the topic) are not only about money, but about sending work off shore and having LAMEless tarmacs.
Surely the downgrading of our once great LAME Licence, the envy of the World, is part of it, Qantas were the ones that forced CASA to change and downgrade the Licence system, now they are trying to send a lot of the maintenance off shore and not use LAMEs on line at all, except when someone ''thinks'' something may be wrong.
