He can't be told. He is not willing to listen to anyone. Unless maybe you put it in an email. Apparently when you email him he finds it easier to say no.
I can't wait to find out what other tricks he has up his sleeve. I have heard he is waiting for the EBA to be finalised so he can put through his raft of changes.
Stanton in charge of 380 is going to be an absolute blast(cock up).

There will be a significant number of forced transfers from SIT and SDT. It won't just be the easy targets. 330 or 737 licenced guys won't be safe like last time. Base will be taking on a lot more traditionally terminal work (international day-stoppers, domestic over-nighters). Don't expect any type trainig to come with it. They are well aware of how many 737/738 licences are already in Base and the rest will come from the terminals. Domestic will say goodbye to their cruisey nightshifts, their hours will prob end up more like SIT.
Composite crews probably. Not too sure how 380 will fit in.
Just my theories of course. Happy to hear the opinions of others.

Bringing extra people to base maintenance is no problem as long as they have plenty of work to keep everyone busy.
If they bring in 738 LAMEs bring in the 738s to go with them etc.

I have a great NEW idea.
How about Base do day stoppers, base do the Arvo shift at SIO, frees up SIO LAMEs to do customer work (in white overalls). We all rotate through SIO & SDT.
Nah, that would never work

The SIO customer work thing would never work with a rotation. It would mean twice the number of people need to be trained on customer aircraft,and then when you swing back to base you would lose the tail payment, then those individuals would crack the sh!ts etc etc.
Having said all that I do think SIO still seems manpower top heavy for the amount of turnarounds that are done. But I could be wrong.

A couple of things !!!!!!
1 customer work....you blokes are kidding yourselves,we are not going to get um back.....at least not like we used to handle them
2 gee base guys going to sit to handle day stoppers and extra work I agree with short circuit....sounds like something from the 70's...get a few old timmers in whites arriving a/c and the grey army doing the checks,all we need is some guys to do the "doors"....now that brings back some fond memories
3 yes there will be change for ALL not just syd int/dom,but one thing still remains they still need LAME's maybe not as many but they still need us
4 from what the bexley boys have said about rosters we will have change with them too,and once again it will mean change for ALL

base/a380 maint
looking at this thread it may well be that" something old gets new again".....the SIO/SDT may turn back into a arrive/depart setup....but the guys doing it will be the rampies and the Lame's will be supplied by base,when needed... of course a few Lame's will be needed at SIO as LH big a/c need them...maybe a few old redundant Lame's might come back as "arrive/dept men",in white overalls of course ....now that would be a sight.....the rim

Geez, this brings back memories...
"Doors", No one ever questioned why Lewin always had a very heavy satchel in one hand and all the books out of it tucked under the other arm, lol.
"Rover 5", I saw Kerop the other day, he's still the same... "Hey boy, I flat you down".
I could go on with many anecdotes,
Don't forget the white caps to go with the white overalls and you'll need "Mike" buses operating between the hangars and the SIT.
Everything old is new again...

Just make sure the tow pin on the bus is secure.Wouldn't want a trolley full of Snap On tools going into the lake again. Oh yeah, better make sure the bus drivers have a blue card, wouldn't want any of them having his way with any impressionable young engineers.
