Uhm, the rather interesting aircraft known as the "Nomad"? As far as I know, that was the last transport aircraft designed and put into service by ozzies. And since then you've wisely left it to more advanced countries. Like Brazil.

Havent seen the book yet HotDog.
Something else that is true Fordran is that ACS don't know how they are going to do them with the`amount of people that they have.
They've got to do em some where and AVV can't cope with the extra work.

I am coming to the conclusion that QF Engineering management are losing control of the situation and have already thrown the baby out with the bath water, so much experience walking out the door. They seemed to have killed the enthusiasm to remain of all but those that are financially challenged.

Would not surpise me if they are calling for contractors very shortly .... ACS brothers beware..

Devil

Look, quite frankly the writing is on the wall. If you are a Licenced Engineer working for Qantas you get paid too much.
The ground rules have been set. Benchmark 20 to 30 % less than what you are on now.
Heavy Maintenance Engineers from sydney were/are the lowest paid (sorry except BNE H/M). We are / were the most flexible and some of the best in the world.
We would fix anything from a major structural defect in a fuselage, carry out any major modification be it wiring/strut or isv, ife, etc.
We could inspect anything that an AD or Sb could throw up, and fix it not defer it to the next available check.
Who was it that found the major butt splice crack in one of the ugly sisters?
Sydney H/M. It was found through experience and diligence.
The Manager of H/m should be ashamed to call himself an engineer.
Or should I say an ex engineer.
To Sack the experience that has given Qantas its safety record and to do it to satisfy short term profitability is the lowest that an engineer that has come through the ranks could stoop to.
I can only hope that his job is as stable as mine at the moment.
What is the future in remaining with Qantas as a licenced engineer?
Does any of the Management Boffins that read this site have an honest answer?
How about any of the ALAEA industrial group that have had circles run around them by Qantas for the last ten years, Have you lot got any answers?
No... I thought not.
You industrial genius's thought that AVV maintenance base was your bread and butter for years to come. Get not only the LAME's but the AME's and planners to pay fees and Qantas would protect your interests for years to come...100K a year for lip service to your masters.
Remember the Midnight Oil song..."Your dream world is just about to end...........yeaaaaah yeahhhh yeaah , your dream world is just about to end."
You never now mr industrial manager ...I might apply for your job when you get sacked in a couple of months, remember the ALAEA is classed as a small business and unfair dismissal laws dont apply to a white anglosaxon male that doesnt perform in his posiion.

Angry

Turbo's going away for a little while. He or she wrote some pretty nasty things on another (removed) thread.

I know what everyone's going through with industrial changes at the mo. We all are effected in some way. However, once you start getting emotional and in some cases down right offensive with your posts, you dilute their effectiveness. And offend the majority of us that are "reasonable" contributors to this site.

We will not hesitate in either suspending priveleges to those that don't toe the line or deleting threads, or both.

Woomera (Eastern States)

It's a shame about Turbo because he/she wrote a very strong post.
I look fwd to his/her return.
When is he/she back?
So, Eastern States Woomera works for Qantas.
I'm suprised that he bans as much as he does.
