In the next six months QE is having "The Mother of all reorganisations"
1) Melbourne Heavy Maintenance to close
2) Melbourne Maintenance Scheduling to move to Sydney
3) Melbourne Maintenance Watch to move to Sydney
4) All supply / Engineering (degree engineers) / support to move to Sydney
5) Anyone else in "The White House" to be cleaned out
6) Redundancies (Round 1)
7) Marlin / Maintenix to replace Cameo
As far as I can see, each and every one of these, if it is to be attempted at all, should be done in complete isolation of the others.
All of these functions are Mission Critical, failure of any one of these could have catastrophic results for QE, and hence Qantas itself.
These, each and every one, are CORE FUNCTIONS of having an aircraft at the gate serviceable and ready to depart on-time.
Even with my rapidly fading eyesight I can see MANY unexpected hiccups along the way.
I believe, that with just the tiniest bit of common sense, when the wheel nuts are found to be loose and the wheels are wobbling off of the wagon, management will have no choice but to "defer" the implementation of MOD.

(Best I say no more, but I am very reliably informed that a few people have already noticed a couple of wheel nuts loosing off even at this early stage.)
