Moderators Please Unionist1974
To the moderators,
We have a probationary UNIONIST1974 who has, as yet in my opinion, failed to contribute anything of worth to the debate. A scan of other threads also shows a distinct lack of substance. Please monitor, and if needed, use the aeroguard.

One Star Airline
At $187 per transit aircraft & basically free rectification I cant see how going alone will be cheaper? Good luck to the One Star Boys but I wouldnt expect any support from the SIT guys, when it goes pear shaped.
As for QF Management, what a joke Gavin's meeting with LAMEs, revealed that they have no long term plan, no idea how to fix so many problem here in Base and the A380 monster out of control.
How long can they continue to operate the manpower levels on the A380 estimated costing between $20,000-$30,000 per transit! Seems the A380 expense is tolerable but the wasted resources in the highest paid, multi licenced area is ridiculous. Time to intergrate the A380 into the mainline operation & the removal of at least 6 Ops managers (empire builders), utilise the skill expertise and talent of all of engineering, after all they are all just aircraft.
Once part 100-66 comes in then it will be interesting, as the flexibility should be better, all the B1 rated boys could be certifying a lot more in base cross all trade streams. Strange that management aren't being proactive and training a heap of Base guys up to B1 level in preparation for the change, that would be too smart.
The EBA will be another kettle of fish, I wonder if part 100-66 will be discussed and if the current grading system be converted into a tiered B1/B2 grading system?

This is a big thread drift but Slacker don't be surprised if Syd Base Maint follows the business plan of 380. No foreman only a few Ops managers and the majority of work being done by cross trade crews.
They know that 380 ops are running with big crews at the moment and they are happy to wear the cost so they can keep experience levels up.
3 more 380s are due before Xmas and 1 more in Feb 2011 so the workload will increase considerably in the near future, not too mention c check support and delivery support. It may be a lull at the moment but as sure as my butt points to the ground it will getting very busy very soon.

When the Base Ops Managers were asked about conversion to the new regs at a recent re-engagement meeting they admitted they have "no idea how it all works"

The 3 Base Ops managers are all oxygen theives. They don't really contribute anything to Base maintenance. They could all be sacked and the place would not miss a beat.
They are lying back-stabbing bottom dwellers more focused on what they can do for themselves rather than what they can do to help anyone else.

Ah Superlame, I agree with about two of the three Ops Managers but I'm not sure about the one "handling" the A330. For him to be a "lying back-stabbing bottom dwellers more focused on what they can do for themselves rather than what they can do to help anyone else" would suggest he would have a certain amount of (all be it underhanded) intelligence. I'm afraid this idiot couldn't make a decision if his life depended on it.
Sorry about the thread drift but I couldn't help myself.
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

QF guys, its sad to see you lose more contracts yet again. However Qantas engineering is not gods gift to aviation. Whilst I acknowledge there are a lot of amazingly talented engineers there a plenty of nuffys to make up the balance. Good on Jetstar I say. If they pay less then its up to the LAME and us to keep OUR wage up. The pilots are going through the same thing right now. maybe we should take a leaf out of their book.

The thing is Empire, I don't believe they are going to actually "self handle". Are we to assume they will now cut themselves from the Qf teet, use their own Tech Services, Maint Watch, tooling, AOG crews etc..... i think not.
I wouldn't mind betting that J* self handling consists of signing a contract with a different service provider, one that probably employs certifying LAME's here on 457 visas because there is a "shortage" of skills in Oz
This will impact on the guys who carry out the A checks on J* 330s presumably, even less work for the Base, yet I bet they will be farming out all their gear to the mob that does do it.....
Will they be inclined to pull them out of the poo if and when it hits the fan, that is the 64 million dollar question.
Maybe the Sydney Base "Manager" who nominated himself for a 330 type course can assist them.

My bet is, that this is the prelude to the 787's due to arrive within the next 12-24 months (depending when Boeing can get its act together). When Jetstar get the first 15 aircraft, their engineers will be trained up to service their own, and may even get the QF contract for the line servicing of the aircraft. Jetstar is growing at the expense of its parent company. QF may well become a support airline for the ever growing Jetstar

who's running it then? we can't handle suspense. Avalon is yet another setup for degrading the Aussie engineering T&C's. They would give AMSA a race for the title of 457 visa employer of the year!
