Thumbs down q.s safety record

You have to be joking.

The reason that the rat's safety record looks find, is because , I , have been told , by DCA, CAA, people in the past, whatever, is because of cover up's.

Do some indepth research, the 707, in India / Pakki , heavy landing, the F/ E was sent back after the go round, to check the wings, because the fuel gauges were dropping dramaticly.

His reply, on returning to the flight deck, was, " Its Pissi@g out

"My source, the F/O on board, whom I know. What ever happened to this 707, the desert in USA, maybe. Say a new one, with the same rego, to replace it, I wonder, would be unknown
to the public, I don't know, but it sounds possible.

Q's great golfer at BKK, he got 5 holes in one. Is that 747, in the desert, replaced by a new one, with the same rego ?, after a costly rebuild in BKK and China, to get to the desert. I believe it would be advantagious to put Boeing on the spot and ask the questions and if unanswered a possible USA Senate inquiry

Q's domestic antics, after a great Airline, TAA/AA, was taken over with and complete with hero's later on.

Really, you young guys, should do some hard research.

Up the rat,

Robroy,this is true and I couldn't agree more as I have seen a myriad of different coverups of situations resulting from complacency and incompetance,AVV is especially rife with these scenerios as the people brought in by Forstaff from wherever with dubious skills/qualifications are being let loose on the aircraft all the while the Supervisors are too busy to oversee as they have important emails to attend to.
My point was just that the "public" still assume Q is safe and all is well for which to us the worker is not the case and it is plainly obvious that Q will do anything to keep up that image as how else could an Airline justify such exorbitant ticket prices.

Maybe Dixon needs to read about the challenger disaster and especially Fyneman's appendix to it. "just because it hasn't happened yet , doesn't mean it won't happen at all".

I have no insight into QF's maintenance organisation, but the trouble is that if it got damaged like Ansett's was, it wilol take years to repair.

there was a LOT of repair work done at Qf i refused to sign off! (no wonder some managers told me to my face that they would dedicate the rest of their careers to getting me kicked out)

complacency and incompetance,AVV

when avv is given prior notice of casa inspections so the cover up,s can be undertaken before they are on site you really have to wonder what the hell is going on.

You obviously aren't very well informed because it is the standard practise. Audits are approx. 2 or 3 times a year with notice, but MRO's are warned that at least once a year there will be an unannouced audit, just to keep them on there toe's. It may not be a total package audit it may just target one specific area of the operation.

Geez, are you guys saying what I think you are saying - that QF maintenance is already in trouble??????

I would not wish such a situation on anyone - including Qantas.

alaea,members concerns.

gee,seems like certain members of our executive have to try and divert attention away from themselves by trying to shrug off criticism by referring to some members as MEXICANS.maybe they should remember that we all pay the same fees each week and if members are unhappy they should be taking the concerns seriously and not think of themselves as being beyond giving paying members a proper answer to questions.maybe a little more effort in answering members letters and a little less time in acting like they are above criticism would go a long way.

Stop whingeing and put your hand up if you think you can do it better. Iv'e been a member for 26 years and never had a problem in fact you will find that the members and airlines alike respect the alaea as the only organization prepared to conduct busines in a proffessional way.

The company may see it as thus but the members most certainly do NOT,albeit they are head and shoulders above the AMWU in civil negiotiating skills but when it comes to dealing with what the members ask,this is where they are severely deficient,they treat the members with utter comtempt and honestly believe we are fools who will accept anything for fear of the work going overseas,get out of Q's bed and start dealing with what the members want not what Q wants or you will end being deemed just another anachronous inessential along with your Q cronies.

What is wrong with calling people Mexicans?

Anyone that lives south of the Tweed is a Mexican.

All you Mexicans, that is anyone south of the Tweed, just keep believing that.

Leave God's Own Country to us Queenslanders.

You are right about one thing though, you SHOULD need a Visa to get into Queensland from the Mexican States of NSW and Victoria.
