The boss of Virgin in Sydney is an ex QF Heavy Maint. LAME. I don't think golf was his sport of choice it was dirtbikes.
As I have said before, John Borghetti offered to take QF engineers that have been given the flick. But he hasn't actually come good on his offer since giving it lip service.
I also heard in passing a LAME talking to a manager asking what is going to happen when SAM fails? The response was rebuild it and take people back on their terms.
