Australian On-Shoring

[Capt. Feathersword]

Just got the latest update from the AOA re the on-shoring process. Just reading between the lines here, but I get the feeling something is happening... for 2 reasons

On the site www.aoaaustralia.org (http://www.aoaaustralia.org/) they have posted a message titled URGENT PLEASE READ, and its addressed to all OABL crew.

Secondly, the info they have posted there is accessible by everyone... even non-members!!

It all certainly makes for interesting reading. Seems as though they might have learned from the other on-shoring debacles. Might be worth keeping an eye on that site... especially if you are a non-member!!http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

Well done AOA. If your reading it, join, believe it or not, you won't miss the subs.

Let this hopefully be the beginning of substantial pay rises all round, long overdue.:ugh:

I get the feeling that our Australian cousins are getting carried way - remember that AMS was 6 weeks from on-shore when CX pulled the plug because of 'costs that the company was not willing to bear'. Let's hope that our esteemed management research on the implications of on-shoring in Aus is far, far better than it was with Canada where they found that the aircrew actually have representative rights, and in EUR, where they really haven't got a clue at all. CX are now are in panic mode. No one should sleep easy - beware the irrational.

Oh, well - back to the coffee shop :ok:
