CLICK, rant S/W on;
Once again, G Dixon shows his contempt to Australia & Australians by announcing a partnership with an Asian MRO to carry out heavy maintenance on it's Qf & J* fleet of Boeing and Airbus aircraft. This will have the effect of destroying thousands of Australian aircraft engineers jobs employed in Australia and lower again, the quality and safety of the companies fleet of aircraft.
The Malaysian MRO is obviously the very same that, because of shonky maintenance, caused the almost catastrophic failure of three 747-400 fuselages in service for QF. If not for the diligence of now disbanded Sydney Heavy Maintenance facility, Qantas would have seen it’s first and possibly three mid-air disaster with death of thousands of passengers that chose to fly QF for their unprecedented safety record.
Just a month ago he (GD) was proclaiming QF wanted to keep jobs in Australia but at the same time was obviously wheeling and dealing in Asia to sell Australian jobs & safety to the lowest bidder and make a buck or two in doing so. The GREED of the new Qantas is beyond reproach. Billions of dollars in profit is not enough we want more, more, more. Who cares about safety, not Qantas Board or CEO etc any more.
They are now a force unto themselves. GD has told the Labor Government in his AGM speech, not to touch Work Choices OR ELSE. He will bring in overseas flight attendants to fly in Australian aircraft to take Australian jobs, outsourced IT to India, just to name a few. He has split the company into fragmented (“segmented”) business groups, fighting amongst themselves for meager profits to appease the G.D. god.
It will come to a crunch sooner or later, unfortunately people will die and the curtain of but covering will close around him and his cronies. I bet the blame will be placed upon the people who have been trying to stop the rot and not those greedy managers that drove the company to its knees.
Funny how it comes at a time where all EBA's should have been done and dusted with the odd XPT clause that they say is nothing at all, don't be concerned about it! the managers say. I SAY BE VERY CONCERNED !!!!
CLICK, rant S/W off.
I would appreciate you guys keeping this thread going and adding your thoughts. I hope I am not by myself in belief? Maybe I am just too skeptical, maybe not.
