So once again QF engineering management have shown the compassion that they are known for
The same short sighted philosophy from those so called management types who don't know what they don't know. Shame they are so wrapped up in their own egotistical world and maybe brief tenure that they can't see the big picture.
Makes you wonder where they think that the future LAMEs and Maintenance staff are going to come from for the longer term. Contractors and the like supplied by half baked agencies are not the big answer. These places seldom get you the people you actually need for your operation, as they are staffed by clerks and other flunkies who generally have no real knowledge or understanding of the Aviation Industry, and just send people off their books in order to clip the ticket for the recruitment fee, irrespective of the relative usefulness of the people that they have supplied.
Some employers have woken up and actually take the trouble to do their own recruiting through their own departmental managers, rather than suffer the poor choice of HR etc.
Keep the Faith,
Regards to all. Big E.
