As per the agreement, presently before FWA, clause 11 basically states that LAMEs retain all existing job functions. Qantas have signed off on it, it's just a matter of whether you trust QF management.
Yes, we've discussed this one locally, however, this statement doesn't secure the frequency of our job functions. Currently every transit, but invoking the current policy on several type transit checks sees this frequency reduced to once a day.
As usual the engineering heads of state are as clear as mud and as trustworthy as Lucifer.
The LAME functions will remain for as long as the "classic" 737, 767 and now aging 744's remain in the fleet. Once these guys are gone, so are the LAME functions as we know them.
