ALAEA Leadership Change

[Acute Instinct]

The Facts!

• The Roo's Heavy Maint H245 B744 'D Checks' completed in 36 Days
• Only maint provider with nil, read NO, test flight requirement
• Straight out of the shed to the eng run up bays, then off to LAX with full pax load
• Exit maint delays, virtually nil
• The 'MoU' MRO SE Asia, Heavy Maint B744 'D Checks' scheduled 55 Days
• 27 'D Checks' back to back' before an on time exit achieved, then back to business as usual
• Test flight requirement mandatory, wonder why?
• The record of failed test flights, on one aircraft prior return to service, 5.
• Average out of service time, 62.5 days.
• Management have acknowledged closing H245 was a grave mistake, that could not be reversed. On the grounds of both cost and most importantly quality.

What other Dixon legacies are waiting to haunt Qantas?

To the shrinking violets who take issue with what the association said, harden up you blokes! So Steve may have indulged in a little spin... like the company never does, like the company never releases half truthes and outright lies, like the company is some pillar of virtue that must be revered lest we be dammed to hellfire and brimstone! If you don't aknowledge the politics involved then you must live on another planet.

Wake up LAMEs, just because we signed off on an eba and the pia ended does not mean we are best buddies all of a sudden. Some of you have very short memories....... the struggle goes on.

18yo LAMEs...I would'nt trust an 18yo to service my car unsupervised.

[qf 1]

sorry i have been out of the game for 3 yrs,but it was 21yrs of age before you could become a LAME 3 yrs ago,whats changed

[The Mr Fixit]

Buggery and Scabs

The Buggery campaign continues
If you guys haven't woken up to the fact that there is a calculated campaign to destabilize our union go back to sleep and fade away.
The company has awakened its scabs (appointed and rewarded) and yesman, Game On once again.
A year out from more EBA discussions, the line is drawn choose your side

[thosecotos]

When people buy a ticket on Qantas, the chaps in the middle east aren't getting paid, the chaps in Singapore aren't getting paid, the chaps in NZ aren't getting paid, its the workers in Australia getting paid, supporting local businesses and local economies along the way.

Vey honourable quote. No doubt you drive a Ford made in Geelong, you wear clothes that say Made in Australia, and your pantry is filled with Ardmona non-perishables.

18 year olds signing out a/c. In my 27 years of aviation, I have never met a 23year old little lone an 18 yr old with the experiance to certify an a/c.

This is really scary and should not be allowed. How do you meet the prerequisite 3 years experience before you're 18 anyway - drop out in year 9? On a side note, I've also worked with plenty of 30-40-50 year olds with dozens of years certifying that wouldn't know the back end from the front end of an aeroplane. That's probably even more scary!

Scabs Rewarded

Indeed The Mr Fixit.

One MEL appointment comes to mind, a serial scab who was once an ALAEA rep has now been appointed to manage maintenance planning in MEL which includes Line & Heavy including workshops.

Used to think he was an OK guy however.........

bumpfoh

mmmmm... i think that someone is posting and answering their own questions ...get a life or just name the persons involed ...is there really another group out there who wants to take over the union or is it a beat up

[Bumpfoh]

rim

I'm stating facts old mate and definitely have no agenda what so ever.

WRT to getting a life it's effen cold and windy outside, theres **** on the box, the cook is watching some MJ crap on Foxtel and the kids are in bed so not a bad time to grind my axe about the company stooges being elevated into poitions they know nothing about all for being scabs.

BTW I'm more than happy and impressed with the incumbant Exec!

[helpfulnot]

I want to know what the union is doing with our money we are having a fee increase and the only thing I can see is jobs for the boys. Fedsec on a salary paid out of our fees and the trustee has a full time position as the office manager this also paid out of our fees - come on ALAEA JOBS FOR THE BOYS is not on.

At a guess the word our was a typo, it should of have been your money as if you had any idea about the lames association,you could answer your own questions .

Anyway for the non members out there, having a fed sec & office staff not beholden to an aviation employer for ones income.

is ok by me QF EBA 8 I rest my case

[1746]

Helpfulnot - you are showing your true colours!

[helpfulnot]

I was a LAME for a number of years but will retire before the end of this year glad to be out of it and out of the ALAEA all of you my friends are blinded by what you think is a good executive.

I can't talk about other people /companies, but the ALAEA has been very active and supportive in a long ongoing dispute with our management. It is only with their support that we will hopefully bring it to a satifactory conculsion

please take an interest & reply to casa as it is your safety at stake, are you pilots out there aware what you may be flying in (maybe an aluminium bucket of bolts) good luck boys n girls your going to need it when your crzing at 200000ft certified by some one who has less experiance than the person who gave you the pink slip on your car

Mr wobbles would that be the space shuttle??

Wishing you all the best in retirement and happy internet surfing in your obviously new found hobby by the number of posts you have contributed, all of them very negative.

I bet you have never had the gumption to approach or call one of the current exec to express your views/concerns which you have posted here.

Bait cast and now waiting for that elusive bite!

[helpfulnot]

I have actually phoned the office on a number of occasions and unfortunately have never got past the receptionist but left messages, no calls returned. I have done this for the past 3 months not sure if it is the receptionist on passing on my messages or noone can be bothered to return my call as I will not be a paying member after I retire.

[ALAEA Fed Sec]

Send me a PM helpfulnot and I will give you a call. If you're not happy with me calling, you can have my mobile number and call me thus bypassing the receptionist.

[Bumpfoh]

Open invitation

There you go helpful, SP offering you an audience directly, not saying you have to agree with him/them but at least you can cleanse your liver.

[rudderless1]

Gotta love prune, breaking down barriers, bringing us all together.
Helpful not, the ball is yours!
Squeeky wheel gets the oil.
