The management want the aircraft maintained under the supervision of their own staff and the US regulator, because the work being done was so shoddy. They almost want the unions to win the mx side of the argument.
Much like the fallout from staples being pinned through the Emergency Exit Lighting of QF Aircraft in offshore maintenance.
DO NOT forget the engineers in their plight to keep OUR (ie: Australian pasengers or those we would like to trade with), passengers safe over large expanses of ocean, many thousands of miles from bean counters who clearly do not care.
Union solidarity! One voice to speak ONLY through elected leadership. SAFETY is the biggest issue. NOBODY can duplicate the Australian traditions of hard work, tenacity, leadership, confidence, pride and sophistication with dealing with increasingly complex aircraft when automation and safety systems FAIL!!
DO NOT TRUST imitators of your refined product that can NEVER be duplicated!!
YOU ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY OF YOUR EFFORTS AND EVEN MORE!!
