QF LAMEs CNS face redundancy

I have heard that QF BNE mgr MT arrived in CNS during the week and handed out redundancy papers to all the CNS LAMEs. The LAMEs had the option of accepting, or redeploying to BNE HM, or doing nothing. Anyone got any other info on this? Is the ALAEA aware of this? (I’m sure they will be very soon!) What is the associations’ position?

1st I've heard of it.Give the office a call on Monday to get the facts.Hope its a furphy.
I hear there are still some lame's in BNE that are awaiting the redundancy packages they accepted last time but cant be let go cos they are too short of arms,legs and licenses.
Geniuses.

If this is true, how come the union doesnt seem to know yet?

Plus surely word would have spread quicker than this.

Confirmed through Union source on Sunday

6 positions to go in CNS, all efforts will be made to avoid redundancy if it is not desired.

ALAEA is keeping a close eye on this one especially given the track records of the two excessive OT DMMs who have deepened their honeypot at the expense of others, word is that both will be made redundant and a station engineer will be made up.

Info from company source says GH is aware of their OT scam but refuses to do anything or even acknowledge it, have the ALAEA told Strambi or Joyce ?

6 Positions

I can confirm that 6 positions will be going from cairns.If enough people dont accept the package or transfer,it will go to the interview process. I have been preparing selected people for this process for 18months now. By training certain people on A330 ahead of others that deserve it and by running other employees down that don't fit the mould.(eg,wont scab in industrial action,have a spine,are competent at their job and dont suck up to management).G.H has now moved up the tree now and has assured me my position is safe, i will still be rewarded even on top of all the overtime i haved managed to secure for myself,NotseW and the all the senoir LAME's. Cairns overtime abuse has blown over, I am truly untouchable!!!! Yours forever against the ALAEA sniggiH.

Perhaps we should post (real) positions vacant around the network and give these guys in CNS a real choice. Or could it be that these (real) positions are not being approved until the CNS lames are put where the company wants them ie. BNE heavy.

1) Open request for 9 staff in Perth.

sniggih

You are dreaming if you think your job is safe.Cns cant sustain 2 Dmm's and 6 seniors.Blind freddy can see it will end up with 1 dmm working weekday dayshift (there goes the big pay cheque but the 2 years of overtime rorting should help cover that).But i have to give you credit for training all your bum boys on the 330 in an attempt to keep them in cns. Looks like your incompetent management skills are going to come back to bite you. Your inability to get any extra work will ulimately cost you your job.If you try and relocate somewhere else you are in for a rough ride,i believe you have allready rubbed a lot of people the wrong way in bne. Any other station you try and go to people have been pre-warned about your morals and greed. Ask one of your boys how friendly everyone was with him when he went on training recently, i believe he got plenty of shoulders and they were all cold. All i can say is you made your bed now lie in it. You deseve everything thats coming too you sniggih.Go and get F KED you scab dog!!!!!!!!!

Its all about to get very interesting up north, seems the number crunchers are looking at the cost of the base in individual terms rather than a whole cost hopefully the dirt will come out in the washing.

On a brighter note spoke to my councillor yesterday and he said the Union will be applying the last on first off theory therefore the puppets will be left dangling. And yes there is serious talk of getting rid of both DMMs and replacing them with a Station Engineer gotta love poetic justice.

The apprentice is the only one that has his job assured. After what has happened at this station the Dmm's will be first to go.They think all their actions haven't been noticed. Mangement in Sydney knows what they have been up to, and their days are numbered.
