We're not too pleased with the new managers. Every single change they force against our members wishes now becomes a new EA (EBA) claim for the next round in the second half of 2010.

We have very limited tools to fight them today but when our day comes, they will regret that they haven't accepted the hand of friendship we have offered them.
These managers only understand one thing, and friendship isn't it. If we recall the battle of 2008, none of the managers of the day are around now. We have a new team in play and pushing the same agenda. Then when the dust is settled, there will be a new team. Over the last 12 years or so there have been over 4 managers at S.I.T. By the time the next EBA is due, we'll be due another manager.

When the new EBA comes into play, this new team will be better positioned than the last. They're actually LAME's or former LAME's. They are building their allegiances in antcipation of a showdown and are dividing even further what is left of S.I.T. I guess that's why they have the new guy from Air NZ. He supposedly sorted them out, and has crossed the pond to sort us out. Best of luck to him and his team.

When all is said and done, managers come and go, policies come and go, but it is the LAME's and AME's that are still needed to bring in, service, and dispatch aeroplanes, pilots to fly them, flight attendants to serve the flying public, cleaners to make the cabin look presentable, catering to feed the flying public, baggage handlers to load and unload the flying public's luggage, honey cart guy to dump the flying public's crap, water guy to give the flying public drinking water, check-in staff to issue boarding passes to the flying public, etc etc, and all this is done without a manager in sight.

What is the REAL purpose of a manager? Can someone honestly tell me?

Answer

To screw as many people over as they can and leave with a huge cheque after doing next to nothing.

things do seem to be getting better, managers being forced to make
descisions, compliance levels increasing, maintenance comming home
to roost, and another 3% around the corner.

The decisions being forced to be made. Hmmmm!! Don't know if they're the correct ones, but yes, decisions are being made.

Compliance levels increasing. Are they the online EQ Corporate compliance laws, and environmental awareness compliance courses you talk about. Yes, complaince levels are increasing.

Maintenance coming home. Yes, but other maintenance also being sent outside.

Another 3% around the corner. YES!!

I wouldn't like to have outstanding credits or redundant licences only at the moment.

You ask why we need managers.

The real question is why would anyone be so silly to take the job!

Rotation

SDT guys to SIT, SIT guys to Base, Base guys to Team 380.

And we all work the SDT aircraft. What a shamozzle, and a kick in the guts to those involved. Best of luck guys.
