So what if the ALAEA helped set it up? You should be grateful you've had work for 10+ years at the expense of all the SYD crew that lost their jobs. It sucks they are closing the place but you have to cop it on the chin.
Forstaff are contractors, Chandler McLeod have a CONTRACT to provide man power/labour to QANTAS. No more work, no more contract no more Jethro.
I suspect a lot of people at AVV have been resting on their butts, not developing them selves etc. Oh, i forgot thats someone else's problem. Well you are about to find out its very much YOUR problem. Get over it, move on. Life sucks sometimes.
