How's this for a bunch of Wally's. We meet with them yesterday and say, ok so you have announced that 227 positions will be available in Bne for people to transfer to. How many of them will be LAME positions? IR replied by saying that they don't even know anything about 227 (the Bne blokes were told this by the EGM of Engineering).
So we said to IR, ok maybe you aren't sure. We turn to the head of Qantas Heavy Maintenance and say to him. "You've made this decision, how many LAMEs will you need in Bne to cater for the 738 aircraft you will maintain there?". Answer -
We're not sure yet.
VBPC guy. Would you consider a job running Qantas Engineering? I think you may be more qualified, I suspect you are more capable and you certainly have the right attitude to deal with those pesky unions.
