Would like to read that story how do I get to it?

[Apophis]

page 9 25 march sat geelong advertiser not on web Unfortunately and Qantas wants people on the floor to cut costs they are being robbed and don’t even know it.

Thanks will look for paper,heard a case of missing tools by an employee but me tinks all would not just be the work of one member? this would be a bit of a worry down that way I would assume?

Now to find out if Geelong Advertiser gets up to my way.

it was one person federal cops dragged him out of a meeting.

What's the rest of the story.

[Apophis]

he ordered new tools took them home and sold them on e bay he was probably the only part of avalon making a profit we should be selling tools not fixing aircraft

[Ultralights]

i always thought that anything sold to Qf, be it tools or services etc were always sold at a premium, and hence would not have a profit margin when onsold to the public.... i learnt this when going to a local hardware store in my QF gear, looking to buy some fasteners for funriture or whatever, i was told a price, and couldnt believe it, i said your kidding and turned to walk out, he asked, is it for you or for the company? i replied, myself, he said, in that case, its this much.... about half of what he was originally going to charge me.

How true Qantas payed a premium for the brand new tools and he sold them on e bay for a 100% profit to himself quite an Achievement.

[Turbo 5B]

Only 100% profit?
If he paid $0 for the tools and sold them for any amount the profit is not measurable in percentage terms.

[Apophis]

needless to say he made money qantas did not.
Really have to give him points though he was mangements golden boy and they were clueless as to what was going on.

uhhhh... thats right. QF paid top dollar for the tools and Mr Toolcrib operator sells them for around the same price and pockets the money. Basically theft.
