Finally, with the changes we are making in Line Maintenance there have been a lot of moving parts, particularly within the Sydney Precinct. Dave Filipetto and Chris Tobin will shortly be holding a Sydney Precinct Maintenance Forum where cross functional teams will come together to discuss any issues and workshop solutions that will achieve a greater consistency in the work movements and improve communication between the SAM, CE, A380 and Terminal teams.
These changes have meant that SAM, SIO and SDO need to work more closely as a collective Line Maintenance team within Sydney. Groups that haven’t previously interacted will now be crossing paths on a daily basis as aircraft, people and work move between the areas so it’s important that processes, responsibilities and a chain of decision making is clear to all.
There will always be teething challenges to some extent as procedures are adopted and embedded, and we become used to working with new people and processes. We can see some areas that need to be resolved in this transition, which has been evident in the last couple of weeks.
We have had some feedback from our own Supervision that we need to do some work and to that end we will be putting together a combined Workshop Forum with staff representatives from SAM, SIO, SDO, CE Teams.
So as usual, we've got to come up with the ideas to fix the mess they made, much of which was foreseen by the people on the floor, and should have been foreseen by that layer of management closest to the floor - the ops managers, and could have been avoided by just such a forum... BEFORE implementing the changes! FFS!!! 
This will probably be the face-saving way for the company to about-face on some of the redeployments from the terminals, making way for the return of the SAM LAMEs in the CTC.
