The company is working to a script. They are up to the part where they need to announce drastic cuts to staff numbers and flights in order to transfer these operations to J*. As per their script, unions are supposed to be staging mass walkouts and disruptions.
Problem is, unions are not following the script.
Hasn't stopped them acting like the sky is falling.

Funky Plan
Bringing it all to a head......get another parliamentary (Senate) inquiry (with Sen. NX at the helm) to focus on what was left off in May's Senate inquiry/report into Pilot Training & Airline Safety, i.e. item (j). 'Any other related matters'. Maybe that way we'll get to see into the Qan. group's books in detail.
In the meantime, collateral damage increases.

The lens, there is a parliamentary inquiry into the Bills that Senator X (and the Greens) introduced earlier this year - Air Navigation and Civil Aviation Amendment (Aircraft Crew) Bill 2011; Qantas Sale Amendment (Still Call Australia Home) Bill 2011
Details about the inquiry below
Parliament of Australia: Senate: Committees: Rural Affairs and Transport Committee: Air Navigation and Civil Aviation Amendment (Aircraft Crew) Bill 2011; Qantas Sale Amendment (Still Call Australia Home) Bill 2011
Also, yesterday during Senate Estimates hearings Senator Thistlethwaite (the former Unions NSW Dep Secretary) asked the FW Ombudsman about their AIPA and Cabin Crew investigations

Been thinking and come up with a solution 
Qantas has stated on numerous occasions that the ALAEA is on a GO SLOW , well never seen this from the Alaea so Qantas must be linking it with the work to rules action.
So Qantas signs off on that the LAMEs don't have to work to rules and anything goes , so in a way its a GO FAST backed by Qantas .Now this will reduce the backlog of work, as just sign it off.
I know this does sound STRANGE but maybe management has already given it a pilot run somewhere already.

Lets wait and see how the media report this one and what spin Qantas will come up with. Oh but the damage is already done comes to mind.
Great work again from the guys at Bexley take the wind out of the attack. Besides I could do with some extra folding stuff coming up to Xmas.

Qantas union calls off industrial action, for now
Chuckle, Good move SP, OW may now be considering retirement...
"Our pay claim of three per cent is modest and below inflation," Steve Purvinas said.
“Our real focus has always been on job security. As Qantas relocates to Asia, which they have made no bones about, the jobs of Australian licenced engineers will slowly be made redundant.
“We simply want to prevent a situation where all heavy maintenance for the Qantas fleet is done in cheap Asian facilities to lower standards," he said.

My oh my, how on earth are they going to get all those aeroplanes back in the air…especially given as they've already changed one of the 767's into it's new company's US registration………
Nice one Steve, this will fluster the hairdo somewhat!! not to mention take the heat off until the senate hearings fire up all burners………..

Nice work, Fed Sec.
Take the heat off the LAMEs and give Qantas what they asked for (not what they actually want). Let's see who has been telling 'porkies'!
Also allows some clear air so that the focus can go back on the the poor job management has been doing of running the airline, and how greedy they have been. AGM should be interesting!

'The Feathers are Flying'
Parrots are known to spiral into unfortunate states of psycological depression when they are confined to their cages without stimulation for extended periods. The most obvious and predominant sign that the creature is suffering, is an uncontrollable urge to pluck or pull out their feathers. If left untreated, the parrot will pluck so uncontrollably and severely, that its appearance becomes quite hideous indeed.
This condition has unfortunately been sighted recently in a human parrot. A compulsive liar in fact. Down the tweezers Polly, before you do irrevocable damage to your brows, and our airline.

I guess you are making refence to the mouthpiece's latest fahion statement. The fixed raised left eyebrow. It is a sign that even she is in disbelief of the lies she's spruking.
