No I'd prefer you do the job your signed up for and stop this strike crap.
You, ManagersP, HDog and Aircraft need to get your heads around this.

Providing for hull loss
To take issue with Sunfish.
I'd expect a prudent management, (QF, DJ, NZ, SQ ) doesn't matter which,to understand what a catastrophic hull and life loss event might cost.
And then make provision for it. It's called good management.
I don't know if a rolling 5 or 10 year period is right (not a bean counter), but some provision and recognition is sensible.
Nothing to do with engineering outsourcing.
It is said that Swissair's demise was in part related to the fact that they had not considered or understood the need to manage the costs of a catastrophe.
FWIW

Sorry Sunfish I have to agree that the hull loss plans won't win favour with the public.
Being a mate of SP I can say that the ALAEA are seeking expert PR advice from an external consultant every time they talk to the press. The issue of hull loss has been raised and dropped when more newsworthy items seem to be grabbing the attention.

Thank you Goaty! I'm glad you are getting professional advice. It's very important (although it shouldn't be) to be able to put your case to people in very short 'sound bites".

Hull loss or two!
The concern now comes is if the current mindset of management believes there is more money to be made driving maintenance down to and accepting crashes/accidents COMPARED TO best maintenance to prevent all accidents, then the most profitable will be chosen! The latter is ideal, the former may be a real

3%
You have to be kidding 3% after another record profit!
Time to wake up it has to be a hell of a lot more than that somewhere between 6 - 8% nothing less....even the bus and train drivers are getting 5% backdated....you want to settle for 3%?
No more overtime no secondments no higher duties...
See how that works...

negotions progressed well, RDO bank, DIL bank, OT bank, suiet of rosters for all H/M lames and if you are lucky and are employed in H/M Victoria you get to drive up and down the Geelong F/Way for a small allowence yet still no $$$$$ on the table. So as you can see once again QF have loaded the cards to create a rift between H/M and ACS (yes i am simpathitic to your one man pushback and roster issues) lets hope all will think of the future when the time comes to show how well the progress has been and not worry about the 3% backpay just in time for xmas as mine will equal 2 weeks worth of O/T and I for one will stand on the the old saying "ALL FOR ONE" stay strong and focused for a better than 3% outcome
