Sorry guys I had Gary in the office write and issue the notice today, please disregard the "end is nigh" tone of the notice. We met with our friends today and we are systematically working through the issues we have raised in the table I sent you all last week. The next meeting is scheduled for next Thu.
At this stage we have a stack of outstanding questions that Qantas want answered by the CFO. He was to meet us this week but had to withdraw from the meeting. We think it will be re-scheduled for two weeks time.
As for Ops managers running around all flustered and excited, what else would you expect. Some of them are just seeing an aircraft up close for the first ever time.
So if you have any personal concerns with the proposed matrix that they may or may not use, please let us know early so individual grievances can be prepared with ample time. It may be that you have been overlooked for training, never had an opportunity to get a Cat 4 drivers licence or are too fat to have tank entry. Anything at all that you feel puts you at a disadvantage unfairly.
