747 Heavy Maint in SYD Hangar 245
Rumour has it that a senior manager of 4 Stuff (the same people who set up another heavy facility) whom is also an ex ALAEA stalwart has been seen sniffing around SYD jet base H245.
Apparently there is a vacant hangar which would be perfect for 747/744 maintenance checks which is being under utilised. Super A and C checks are proposed as there is high demand for quality and overflow work in the region.
I hope its not true but in these times anything can happen

when i was working the hajj aircraft it was parked in h271 because permission was needed to park the aircraft in h245.the leasee had to be contacted he appeared to be outside qantas.
i wonder if many ex qantas workers will return.
they could even take base work off us later on a perfect strike breaker

Don't be so sure, there are quite a few who are less than overjoyed with life on the outside, and may see this as a way to get a toe back in the door, which of course it would not.

Probably just putting the feelers out Domo, as stated I would doubt that they are going to be swamped with applications. I suppose they have the hangar sitting there, empty, idle, may as well use it.
The grape vine indicates that EBY is slotted for a Super A check in Brisbane upon it's return from the sand pit. More overflow work from the overflow work facility.........
A decision is going to have to be made very soon as to the long term status of the 747 classic fleet. Some are apparently coming up to huge D checks with no capacity O/S to outsource these checks. Perhaps the idea is to run them through H245 eventually? One would have to wonder though with no support shop capacity left at the Jet Base.
We live in interesting times.

A response to an enquiry.
We will be looking to fill specific trade roles and will advertise around February/March, so feel free to apply if you see the ads or alternatively visit our website at the end of February early March.
Really tired of recruitment companies fishing for resumes but not willing to give any details.

domo, who do you think the employer would be? Virgin advertise under their own name.
It's only QF management think people are stupid and can't put two and two together. What other "heavy jet" operators are going to require LAMES in all ports around Australia. QF have already advertised in Perth for LAME positions without disclosing themselves (probably because they realise if they let prospective applicants know who is advertising then fewer people will apply, which is probably the case.)
They want people for short and long term contracts.
When I left QF there were contracts available in Singapore and Malaysia paying approx Sing $48 per hour. I bet QF will be pitching their contracts at a significant dicount to that price because people would rather live in Australia than Malaysia or Singapore (generally speaking).
I would bet my left nut that QF is going to try and employ LAMES under contracts similiar to what MAS and SIA do but at a cheaper rate
There have been plenty of current QF LAMES supplying that demand for LAMES and effectively lowering the price via supply and demand for qualified workers.
All I can say is good luck- and to those greedy bas@#$ds that supply the short term contract labour to Asian MRO's while still employed at QF- STOP IT!! you will do yourself and everyone else a favour to your wage rates if you withdraw your services from the pool of contract LAMES available in Asia/Australia.

Has anyone had any dealings with AMSA? How do they recruit? Word of mouth or in the way described above? Perhaps they are about to embark on an expansion, I did hear they were looking at doing the SIA 744 A checks in Syd that Base Maint missed out on.
As for the contract set up, I'm not sure that QF is on the same page as MAS as yet Numbskull, Malasian is able to employ a $hitload of arms and legs (AME's) for peanuts. The Ame/Lae ratio is vastly different to QFs.

Whoever is behind this ad is conducting a massive australia wide advertising campaign to get people on contracts to start in the new year in Australia and NZ. AMSA can't afford those huge ads or the huge campaign. They also advertise under their own name as most reputable companies do. It's QF, believe me!!
Redstone as for employing people on **** money and reducing the LAME/AME ratio- Well they are quite obviously working on that as well. My bet is that in 2007 contract labour under a seperate company will be working alongside QF people in all locations. This already happens in many industries.This is how QF will employ people going forward. QF will retain a few yes men.
It makes for a great source of alternative labour if EBA negotiations break down!! The writing is well and truly on the wall!
How would you like your **** sandwich?? With or without butter?

Did they at least give up the web address?
Numbskull, you are making sense, and I would not doubt the motives of Q. But eventually they are going to have to put their cards on the table cash wise. And we all know I'm sure how tight fisted they are. The recent adds over in Perth for LAME's (as you point out the silly dopes tried to hide the fact it was QF by having a hotmail address to apply to) drew a bit of interest but once the cat was let out of the bag, the laughter was deafening.
Show me the money.
