I never really enjoy seeing anyone's employment terminated, but these two bumbling, incompetent buffoons won't be missed...
7 years ago these two of "Three Amigos" had the enviable opportunity to genuinely create a "worlds best practice" heavy maintenance facility for 767 aircraft, transitioning into an A330 "centre of excellence"... A brand new facility, a willing and flexible workforce with the ability to share decades of experience gained from other heavy maintenance facilities around the country and abroad, without some of the "shackles" traditionally associated with other heavy maintenance facilities...
Unfortunately their "open door" policy didn't translate to an "open ear" policy...
I fear the trail of carnage these two clowns have left behind has hamstrung the viability of widebody heavy maintenance in this country for years to come...

Went to a dinnner party on the weekend met up with middle manager from rio tinto, she made some very interesting comments re alternative workforces and shelf companies that was until the missus mentioned I was an aircraft engineer.
The note I took though was that it was that she spoke of a foreign workforce 'poised' to fly in, surely the government wouldn't allow this ?
Anyone ?

You do not terminate the employment of your trusted Generals that have been though the passed industrial actions and acted for the company to the extent to tell the commission what ever they were told to say even under oath and have their testimony showed for what is was under cross examination. But that was under raffy.
Also if you are dismiss a aircraft worker it is Commonwealth law that they cease access under ASIC guide lines to the Airport , but this has not happened so they ASIC cards have not been cancelled as per Federal Law , so they have not been terminated by Qantas Airways just reallocated . If this is not the fact Qantas is in breach of federal law .
Where will we see them next ? My guess is not the railways

Predictable result.
Obviously the majority of us see very little has really changed.
Now to the negotiating team - Go get em boys!
To Q management, wake up. Produce a FAIR deal with security. Done deal.

Good to see it got up, would heve been better if there were a few more yes votes.
Anyone who voted no to PIA is obviously happy with their pay at the moment, so it goes without saying any increase gained will be donated to charity by the No voters.
Anyone with any integrity should do this.
Did you do it last time????????????? Danny,Allister,mark,beal & geoff??

Job security is just as big an issue as a fair payrise in this EA. LAME's that have voted NO are not seeing the big picture. It is no secret, you just have to listen to management to see that they would like us gone except for a couple of 'Super LAME's' so they can sign for the PART A Licences.
I wonder who the biggest whingers will be if jobs are lost due to the duties that are carried out by us at the moment are taken away. Historically it is the brain washed who have voted NO or even worse, those that have not voted at all.
It is no use getting a big payrise if there is no job to go to.
Maybe the union should just 'commit to discussing not having job security' in the EA and do nothing. It seems to have worked for management for about 5 EBA's about annualised salary.
The Yes vote for the PIA is a great result for unity by QANTAS LAME's as shown in the LAME wars of 2008 (George Lucas is preparing a screenplay). Hopefully, but I doubt it, management can get their heads out of their troughs and commit to a fair deal because really that's all we are after. It is shown that we are the lowest paid in the RPT world in Australia when you compare apples with apples, it's not as if we are being greedy unlike management.
Great effort by the ALAEA Executive as usual
, if only QANTAS management could support their staff as well the ALAEA support their members

well done on the vote - puts a bit of power in the negotiation game.
BTW: Heard that there were 12 x A380 on-wing engines getting the close up look in Sydney yesterday (OQD/OQB & ?)? Also advised of unconfirmed report of one 380 donk reporting abnormal in-flight vibration?? - possibly routine, -anyone have any info?
