QF1 - 15th June
Arrived in Syd late, too many hold items, too much OSIP. Tried loading pax to assist with dispensation approval - still had way too much work outstanding. Pax would have to be "entertained" on board for a long time. QE management willing to bend the rules to breaking point in an attempt to get it away.

A little bit off topic....Is anyone aware if they are fixing aeroplanes at out stations now.
My slip in LA has been extended another 24hours due to aircarft maintenance...or are they just punishing us barons now!!!

Yes they are. QE management are starting to schedule full A-Checks at LAX.
They have had one or two minor problems though. Maintenance packages have not had required documentation included; some contract staff have already had a blue with QE management in LAX and told them to stick their job; because of state of QE maintenance management A/C are arriving late in LAX not giving sufficient ground time, etc., etc.
Good Luck getting out when you are told you will be!

Qf management think this is an easy way out for them but then how many aircraft can be sent to lax for a-checks.
They would rather keep wasting money on ridiculous attempts to circumvent the o/t bans than come up with a fix.They just cant come to terms with the fact that they could be wrong-wonder who ever gave them that idea??
They just cant realise how easy it would be to fix all their problems,the words they havent found yet are COMMUNICATE and NEGOTIATE( in GOOD FAITH that is)

I also agree with Keg with regard to PA's from the flight deck. I have NEVER been on a flight where the captain or other flight crew have lied about the reason for a delay.

No in this instance some pax were escorted down the aerobridge by groundstaff at about 2245 but were not permitted to step onto the aircraft as CPT had not given permisssion to board. They were kept waiting for about 5 minutes and then crew were told to disembark as well.
Then it was advised that there would be no dispensation to depart after curfew.
Also noticed that QF 31 has revised departure time of 2200. Wonder if that will be another that doesnt get away today ?

So how come none of this is in the local papers on a daily basis?
Plain and simple, that's it. Once in a blue moon you run a story when you really CAN'T ignore it, ie, the passengers storm the Qantas Club. The rest of the time you cover your ears, eyes and mouth to ensure the advertising doesn't get pulled!!
Yep, thats the three networks sitting like monkeys.......
Shocking as it may sound....big business look after each other............

From a groundstaff point of view these delays are getting really tiresome.
Angry pax, everything off schedule, we are working long hours to fix the problems...
I wish this would hurry up and and get fixed. We can't put up with this for much longer. It is draining us.

try to sham CASA into letting us break the curfew
It is governed by the SYDNEY AIRPORT CURFEW ACT 1995. It would require Ministerial Approval for a waiver!
So when is CASA going to do something?
Oops.... I forgot..... CASA is a subsidiary of Qantas.

Delays, Delays, Delays.................Don't you just LOVE them..........Well, not really.........But it IS NOT the LAMEs fault!!! It is the system under which we have to work. And if that makes it harder for the Ground and Cabin staff to do their job, then THEY ARE NOT PAID ENOUGH either.
As the company says.....'Take 5'%......

Guys,
as a groundstaffer, there is nothing funny about these delays. I understand why you are doing them but please appreciate the hell we are going through.
I am not one of them but i can assure you, each day you are losing the respect and support from alot of people.
As i know you do, I hope there is a fix....SOON.
