Let me get this right.
We have a CEO who picks fights with his staff (only later to go back and agree to a deal that was on the table back in March last year), grounds the airline for days and then claims that engineering needs to be downsized due to a lower profit. This lower profit was only caused by him and the board.
I am pretty sure that if the engineers go back to a work to rule (as per the Qantas policy manual) it would be proven that there are not enough engineers to handle the current workload. If they just happened to play dirty and "go slow" as well, the airline would be in all sorts of trouble.
Luckily for Qantas, the only people willing to play dirty are AJ and his grubby little board.
This is an airline founded by pilots and engineers that is being destroyed by corporate greed. I have seen nothing but absolute integrity shown by the engineers through this whole debacle.
Can't say the same for the greedy dirtbags who run this company.
Rant over.
