If Boeing crews are short staffed
AND A330 crews are short staffed
AND TEAM A380 crews are short staffed
AND we do not have enough engineers to do customer aircraft,
does it make sense to dump 80 engineers?

Dixon is gone and hopefully so is his hatred of engineers and his dying passion to get rid of all for us.

The Oz engineers are an insurance policy against A/C failures, especially those that come out of outsourced maintenance with
major defects.

80 in engineering does not mean 80 engineers
engineering consists of approx 6000 people of which I estimate 3000 are engineers.

TOJP, that number of 500 was MANAGERS company wide. Qantas are to shed 1200 odd jobs 500 of which will be management. There has been speculation that between 60-80 of those managers will be targeted from Qantas Engineering. No talk yet of operational maintenance staff being vr'd cr'd etc...

RE Cementheads comment,

Could QF be that low, that idiotic, that stupid to do such a thing? I sincerely hope not.
