Stop the Lies Olivia.
Journos should be asking the question, does Qantas normally pay the engineers 4 times the pay when they work overtime?
I would like to see how she answers that one.
Last time I checked, all overtime is paid at double the rate. What industry in Australia pays their employees at 4 times the rate for overtime worked? I doubt any industry does.
Also,the question should be asked, why does Qantas require engineers so desperately to work overtime?
Does Qantas not have enough engineers?
Are the aircraft so unreliable as to require extraordinary amounts of overtime to keep the fleet flying?
Is it reasonable that Qantas pre-industrial action, was asking some engineers to continually work in excess of 24 hours per week in overtime, because management cannot get the numbers of engineers required per aircraft correct?
Does Qantas management think it is reasonable for its engineers to work in excess of 60 hours per week?
This is exactly what Olivia is asking.

Attack is the best form of defense. The question should be asked of the Media,just how much influence do QF's advertising dollars buy?
Put it back on the parasites.

Well done Olivia, your 'Jana Wendt impersonation' has finally come to an end. That was an absolute atrocity, hopefully Grandpa Allen gave you a right spanking in front of the entire board as you all huddled round to discuss the latest media coverage, next plan of spin doctoring and new ways to discredit your staff.
What a joke, AJ cannot articulate anything, nor can his right hand man (Olivia) articulate anything. I am so glad the shareholders have put so much faith in these people to ensure their investment remains sturdy, my how excited they must be watching there investment sit in the palms of a senior management team willing to place the airline in a position of a possible further 12 months of industrial action?
I have a feeling the executive bull****'o'meter will reach a new high this week as they scramble to find new, fresh and exciting ways to discredit the lifeblood of the organization - it's workers? Perhaps they will announce that Purvinus is actually Satan? Perhaps they will leak details about how Caterers earn 180k per year for a 20hr week or how Engineers get paid a KPI FOD bonus and receive an additional 40k per year on top of the baseline 170k?
Yes, as frustrating as it is for some to see all the lies and ****e thrown around at the Unions, each time one of the execs dirty little lies has a hole punched through it they look more and more like a Labor PM holding on for dear life!
Now where is my popcorn and comfy chair as this is better than a Bryce Courtney novel.

The pressure is showing
Roo, Thanks for the video I missed this gem, In the space of 48 hours the wheels appear to be falling of the Qantas spin machine.
"They shut the engine down, they safeteed it" "no safety issue"

Mate, this is where you lose me let alone the Journalists and General public. You need to translate this into plain English, explain the Differences between B1, B2 and the other bananas and tell us why it matters to us that this is happening.
1) Instead of 2 Mech to 1 Avionic LAME, it will shake out somewhere between 4 and 10 B1 to B2, in line with other operators. Sparkies, prepare your CVs. The majority of you are surplus to requirements.
2) "A" licenses to slowly increase. If "A" licenses can perform a large proportion of the current workload of line LAMEs (ie servicing and minor maintenance functions as described in the QEPM) it stands to reason that they'll eventually make up the majority of future LAMEs. Total "B" licenses to be reduced over time by attrition and redundancy.

If I was AJ, I don't think I would have let the dispute get anywhere near where it has.
The danger for AJ and the rest of the senior management team right now is that they may push their workforce too far.
If that happens, the workforce may get angry and desperate enough to decide to take matters into their own hands and the Union leadership loses control.
By that I mean "work to rule" may become the standard, not the exception, and given the apparent thicket of Qantas work instructions, that may be enough to render the airline permanently unprofitable until the majority of senior management is changed.
If someone could again post the oil level inspection procedure as an example I would be grateful. I'm sure that would take me the best part of Fifteen minutes per engine.

All this QF spin about a "go-slow" is really p!ssing me off. All we're doing is following every applicable Qantas procedure to the letter, because if we don't, and a manager sees us, we get to go on a little "holiday", just like the engineer who got stood down for placing a witches hat in the wrong position. Every time I log in to check my work emails, there's a new procedure to do this or that, more "read and sign" memos and safety bulletins, as well as more eQ courses telling me such things as how to sit in front of a computer, and being tested on your knowledge of which charity benefits from the corks from wine bottles used on QF flights. It's never ending.

I'm confused, I thought that the groundings were occurring because the engineers were not doing overtime, but then Olivia said that Qantas refuse to pay overtime? Or am I missing something here?
