Hi guys,
Just briefly I think there was a post about this being some cunning plan by the airline that they had orchestrated. Not so. The idea and proposal was put by us at court ordered mediation and it kinda blindsided them.
The package does not mean the nasty ones won't try and roll out changes over the coming years but I think we all know by now the best ways we can counter their efforts.
Whether people are terminated or the same levels of staff are provided with the accelerated leave, the Engineering Managers have pushed too hard and left insufficient LAMEs to do all the work. If an aircraft is delayed because there is no licence coverage or lack of staff, please don't put the delay down to something else. It needs to be recorded for exactly what it is.
Response from members so far has been good. Melbourne meetings today. Thanks for support fellas.
