Thanks will look for paper,heard a case of missing tools by an employee but me tinks all would not just be the work of one member? this would be a bit of a worry down that way I would assume?

Now to find out if Geelong Advertiser gets up to my way.

i always thought that anything sold to Qf, be it tools or services etc were always sold at a premium, and hence would not have a profit margin when onsold to the public.... i learnt this when going to a local hardware store in my QF gear, looking to buy some fasteners for funriture or whatever, i was told a price, and couldnt believe it, i said your kidding and turned to walk out, he asked, is it for you or for the company? i replied, myself, he said, in that case, its this much.... about half of what he was originally going to charge me.

How true Qantas payed a premium for the brand new tools and he sold them on e bay for a 100% profit to himself quite an Achievement.:ok:

Only 100% profit?
If he paid $0 for the tools and sold them for any amount the profit is not measurable in percentage terms.

needless to say he made money qantas did not.
Really have to give him points though he was mangements golden boy and they were clueless as to what was going on.

They tried KLM but KLM doesn't have CASA approval and HAECO is about to be audited by CASA because CASA has some worries.
Honestly is anyone suprised.
Is it VH OJO by any chance?


Turbo 5B confirmed it is VH-OJO, it tis the first of many more contestants, future sites are yet to be comfirmed and future A/C are also to be confirmed. allocations are keeping tight lipped about the whole thing.(surprize, surprize, surprize)

uhhhh... thats right. QF paid top dollar for the tools and Mr Toolcrib operator sells them for around the same price and pockets the money. Basically theft.
