One of the main skills of "The Art of War" is to not get angry but to make your opponent angry, in so doing his judgement and actions become clouded.

Sounds like someone we know who has been seen ranting like a mad man, carefull Bruce you burst a blood vessel.

The QF9 delay was the most disgraceful and un Australian action Ive heard from you s***stirrers and who was right in the thick of it you may ask. No other than public enimy number one SP. I was shocked to here of the engineers walking off the job leaving 400 pax sitting around for 10 hours with no licence coverage and only the Supervisors to fix the numeros defects they wrote up before they p*ssed off home.

Shame on you Melbourne lames how can you justify such blatant misheif and rampant destruction of the good Qantas name. I hope youse all have your stories staight cause there is gunna be a full investigation into the alleged sabotage of Qf property. I hope they nail the lot of you.

SP actually stayed back on overtime time to help rectify the problem, and only left when he was stood down due to his requirement to fulfill the Leading Hand role the next day. ( Incidentally he started late as he needed to have a 10 hour break!)

As usual mr q you only give enough infomation to benefit your own POV.

I've really enjoyed the last couple of weeks at home with the kids. This , coupled with the disrespect shown by our management leads, me to believe that after the no engineer transit issues are passed and the EBA is through, they can stick their O/T. I think my bans will stay in place. Annualised sa;ery and more training may change my attitude but until then.....

Guys, I think you might want to discuss this stuff in private with no emails. My guess is that if QF gets a chance they will sue individuals.

I do not know if it is legal in Australia or possible, but QF may try and subpeona pprune to get your url details and identify you if they can convince a judge that any of you are any threatening posts against anyone or anybody.

Oh! And good luck with whatever it is that you aren't doing.

Mexicans indeed

as far as im concerned its simply a result of serious understaffing, QF have no one to blame but themselves. the company has no legal comeback if this be the case. you cannot be forced to work any more than your employment agreement requires, and that is 8 hrs for every 24. anything over is NOT compulsory.

and somehow i dont think anything posted on an internet forum, especially one based in another country will hold any weight in court!! and if they try, it will be new low for QF.

Does this sound like good management to you?? Serious understaffing! poor morale, so QF management, as typified by Mr QF, are hell bent on standing them down, and now threatening baseless legal action??

who in their right mind will expect work output to improve and boost morale by following these actions?

every day i feel more ashamed of my past employment with Qantas. sad days indeed.

Mr Qantas Grammar

Mr Qantas,

Unless you learn how to:

Construct a sentence,

Spell words correctly,

Use correct grammar,

I will fly up to Sydney ($72 + $80 taxes, charges and fuel levies) and personally rip both of your index fingers off, unless of course, it's your three year old child typing for you.

And by the way, shut up you illiterate, raving, fascist idiot.

I think that matca has been most polite given the attitude of Mr Q. Good on yer matca for summarising the situation quite succinctly.

Angry It is spreading

When GD full of french bubbly announced 7000 jobs overseas he has unwittingly let the cat out of the bag.

My colleagues and I are increasingly frustrated. AIPA is am arm of the company, no more no less.
What the bone heads who drive this thing haven't worked out yet is that it is they who have made it all about short term money. It is they who have snuck in contracts, with clever little clauses. It is they who dictate the environment an employee feels he or she works in every day.

What they have forgotten in thier grubby self centred grab is that this industry requires a synergy between people to get aircraft away on time. From check in staff to baggage handlers, engineering cabin crew and pilots. There are literally hundreds of people doing their bit, and quite often much more in order to keep it all together for the people that pay our wages, the customer.


Under catering of flights,where even "premium" passengers can't get a meal choice, increasing use of MEL relief for dispatch (thought it only happened in GA), slight of hand at every turn so the collar and tie bean counters can win the day again....



Along the way the snergy is lost, the company divided, the pride gone. Assets begin to look tacky.

As Walt Disney said "If you want good customer relations, you must first have good employee relations"

And contrary to the bean counters, it isnt all about money, it is all about recognition, respect and an open and supportive culture, that's what makes great institutions.
