@ Kharon.
Yes it seems a race to the bottom with Qf and their tactics. Any idea what the master plan is? Probably they want to operate the airline only and outsource as much maintenance as possible along with other departments. Here in HK, CX have done something similar, the CX engineering department is not a patch on what it once was in size, HAECO being the main Maintenance provider. At any Cx outstations local terms are on offer only.
Its a crying shame that maintenance is being treated as a small necessity these days, where as you said bean counters straight from uni seem to have the most important value in the inverted pyramid.
