Read a circular from "M" that acs has droped some customer terminal aircrat to concertrate on amoung other things A380
romulus some operators require ground handling in sydney

Assuming this is correct somebody just gave me the easiest possible answer to the obvious interview question of "what happens if you don't win A380 work?".
Looks like we'll be taking on more Sydney LAMEs. If you're still waiting to finalise a decision, soon as you know who is dropped and the relevant types and if you fit the profile to look after them then get the application in ASAP.

Romulus, the whole point is that there are quite a few people here posting a lot of things that you yourself dismiss as not true.
what some of us would like to see, are some facts from the people on the floor.

Can anyone who has done their A380 interview tell me if it is worth
wasting my time showing up for my interview? Have heard so many
negatives (not in detail, however) just does not seem worth the stress.

Let's throw another log on the bonfire. Phone calls from QF going out now to those who applied the LAX A380 job as advertised in the Australian 2 months ago to go for their interviews. When asked about the ACS A380 Team interviews the caller said they have nothing to do with those and are completely separate. As usual, it appears different groups within QF Engineering (ACS A380 bid team, Line Maint Management,ACS Management, Light House Group, Lean Sigma, Supply Chain) are not talking to each other and rowing their own boats in different directions. Is it any wonder the dispatch reliabilty has gone down the gurgler.
On another note - How can Supply Chain dictate to Engineering the conditions of the A380 Maintenance and who will do it. I would of thought Supply Chain should be Engineering's customer, not the other way around!

Similar pattern? Jobs for Asia were advertised earlier this year as 'EIO for working for us'. Turned out to be Parc Aviation working for Pacific Airlines in Vietnam (A Jetstar investment GD is behind). Slowly but surely they are washing there hands of us.
You just hit the nail on the head!
Bungeyed - you sure seem to be able to see a very obvious point for one whose moniker suggests otherwise!
It just illustrates DC's consistant performance!

Selection criteria seems to have been applied on a face fit basis, which was always going to be the case. May have something to do with that, some grievances may have been lodged......

maybe the whole thing was set up to fail so acs would not get the work but it turns out to be the unions fault. might bring about alaea regime change and bring back the old guard which the company felt easier to deal with

I don't think it would make any difference domo, even if the assn came out and said "all bets are off" there would still be blokes willing to sign on the dotted....... regardless.

"Hot off the pressess
A380 deal is off, QF HR have made some monumental f-up
Anyone know anything more ? "
Appologies for my ignorance Mr Fixit, but care to elaborate on this quote?

There was at least one interviewed who only has airframe ratings, no cross trade basics, no MA's, no Airbus exposure, no A380 exposure. He is flexible though, fits under a desk easily. Has some experience signing out of category.
A complaint has been lodged re his selection over others who meet all essential and most ideal requirements.
