Understand this. No one is letting management sack 200, just that no one can stop them, not even the ALAEA, AWU or any other by-standing union. If you haven't got the message yet, management have said they'll accept volunteers for redundancy, then the rest will be compulsory. No consultation is going to stop that.

We can stop them and you can help. We aren't going to talk our way out of it via consulatation but Qantas are breaking every rule under the aviation sun to force in unsafe change. From discussions with CASA, MOD is only a few steps away from being put on the scrap heap. This will reverse numbers the other way. HM Mel may have been shut but again, CASA are a poofteenth from ordering Qantas to shut down a line in Bne unless they hire more staff.
CN is destroying the business and making mistakes on the way. The lapdogs are being told what to do by people with no Engineering exprience and leaving a trail of evidence a mile wide. Please help gather the evidence and send it to us.
CN can only destroy Qantas Engineering while he is still there. He only stays if he keeps them compliant and planes are getting out on time. With the changes he has made (and wants to make), this only happens if people bend the rules.
Don't give up the fight guys. This battle is a long way from over either way.
