as far as I know all are for base in sydney, to help with a backlog after the dispute and inability to attract enough overtime takers.

As far as I am aware MEL call themselves Base as they do A330 A chks with a hangar. Check the interanet site.
I also believe there is a BASE in LAX. doing A checks and soon ( if QE Management have their way) in LHR.

PS
And what about the J.V. in Malaysia for HM?

PSS
I like using smilies

Casuals start Mon 9th Feb. They work Mon to Wed 0600-1800 days shift and 1400-0200 afternoon shift. A lot of the old timers that must be bored at home.

A lot of retirees have had their super funds severely chewed by the current economic crisis.

So no, probably not bored at home, more likely trying to earn a bit to stop their allocated pensions mowing their capital down.

[QUOTE] heard the other day that the AME jobs have been put on hold indefinitely due to EOC closing later this year, and instead of employing outsiders they are going to redeploy those who want to stay. Makes sense to me./QUOTE]

A section of EOC been closed down in july.over 100 bodies all promised redeployment if they want it.

Does this mean that the remnants of SEM will return to their former home? What of the test cell? If they're not producing engines not much point in having it.(Costs involved in keeping it operational)

Didnt the spend however many million dollars it was only a few years ago to make the engine line into an Rb211 centre of excellence? What happened to that?

ah another "Excellent" example of M........'s work no doubt at the direction of others ...we all know who they are.

Can just see the Title on a forth coming report into the deliberate destruction of the QANTAS ENGINGEERING expertise... "M.... and Co were here".

Where is the corporate responsibility?
