Good grief! Brains of ducks! But, then again, ducks probably have a modicum of intelligence and would have done a better job.

paint it up, kick it out the door, looks great, costs cheap, bean counters happy.
they'll be long gone in 10 years when the damage caused today starts to really cause some issues.
like the slicing of the pacific wave on airnz a/c by decal fitters, causing knife cut damage in areas that shouldn't really have knife cut damage - only picked up 12 months later by a diligent inspection when someone said 'this just doesn't look right'.
or substandard repairs to rear pressure bulkheads that are fine for 11 years/10000 cycles til suddenly...... bang........

you see -alidad
your mate was most likely a waste of space for an apprentice -so we give him the mundane jobs like panels/lubes or just tell him to disappear for a while where he won't cause any damage or problems- because he was most likely stonned out of his mind all the time.

And where would you get that understanding from justapplhere?
Just to clarify a few things....this thread is about Sydney Heavy Maintenance, They did not work night shift therefore no bludging apprentices, as released said "try cabin interiors"
The shame factor is aimed at the qantas board that is willing to sacrifice customer goodwill for a quick, unsustainable profit.
I have sat down with ex Ansett Lames and none of them have related the goings on in Heavy Maintenance with what happened at Ansett.
Could someone let us know if the "wire brushed aircraft" were the Ugly sisters Vh oed and vh oec or if these are new ones that we don't know aout yet?

Look at the people that have arse kissed there way up the ladder to run Avalon its them and Qantas Planning that are destroying the place not the people on the floor you can’t go forward with management that can’t string two words together at a meeting and keep promoting there drinking buddies even if they can’t do there present job its a bloody disgrace.

Sounds more like the LACK of PLANNING from the posts that have appeared as well as the old/new boy's club, don't worry if they cannot do the job give it to em anyway.
Heard that it was a reasonable place to work a few years back but got big too quick by the sounds of it, next it will be more top loaded management (the pyramid inverts) then that is a good sign all is not well!!
Sure hope it does not fold as I have friends working at this place whom will try to have a go but if it is loaded as you state well *****k it would be a shame to fold.

My understanding is that the Avalon guys are no more or less competent than those who no longer work at Sydney - for some of the reasons (rorts)? outlined above.

I live in Brisbane.
This is an "established competent" facility vs a "makeshift import worker" facility thing.
If it were a sydney/melbourne thing, I would be bagging out the Tulla guys. I have no reason to do so. (And good luck to them. I hope they dont get screwed like our sydney brothers did).
