Spot on Hardworker. Just the same old stuff, except coming from a different angle to GD. Action speaks louder than words.
(IE; We will not promote anyone from your section to DMM regardless of experience as they are not the people we want in the job. We will not guaruntee training to anyone no matter how low licence numbers are (unless of course you are a very good friend of a manager or two). We will hire few full timers and run crew numbers down as low as possible until we find a breaking point, in order to save a few bucks. We will watch you closely to try and find new ways to cut you to the bone, you must be flexible!!).
Sound familiar? Trust new management because they can put on a good road show? We were'nt born yesterday. The bugary campaign continues.

AME's
I heard that the interviewers, for the apprentice intake wanted to employ 120 candidates but were only given approval for 80. I guess management don't want to train them but want them now!
Once again they have advertised for AMEs in Sydney. This is 4-5 months after they last advertised and they didn't employ one single person, so now they are going to screw with peoples lives for a second time around.
These morons need to make a decision rather than procrastinate for 6 months and still achieve nothing.
Before advertising for a second time how about talking to those interested candidates from the first lot.

Bootstrap1, Qantas is too good for the first lot. They were just wasting Qantas's time. Management reckon the best candidates didn't think they could cut it for the first round and are giving them a second chance to apply. They are out there. They are! Shake the tree, More will fall out.

Just wondering what is going to happen to the latest AMEs that Qantas has employed? heard they are due to start sometime this month or early May. With the possible loss of 500 engineers, will they be first in line for the chop!
