A bit sensitive to discuss on an open forum, you could be a manager. Best if you discuss it with a rep.

I see the big mgr from wa is back from NZ. From the photos, it looks like it was a buggery of a trip.

Guys, regarding the ORANGE paper..

Don't ask on this forum.. I'm sure there is someone you could ask in real life. We know our illustrious management read this forum.

Orange Paper

One of the SYD managers claims to have worked out the importance of the Orange paper. One of his "Yes" men has been 'seconded' from normal duties just to try and limit the effectiveness of the initiative.

If you shine a black light on it you'll find it's actually a Jetstar Engineering application!

In reality the Qantas mainline staff are not asking for much of an increase in wages - if any. They just want security around their current wages and conditions and for the new recruits operating under the Qantas brand. This requires the maintenance of a full-service Qantas operation.
The pilots are not about going on strike - even if they are asking the industrial regulator to give them that option. Their tactics are all about working to rule. There are plenty of ways that such behaviour can cripple schedules without the need to take full-scale strike action.
.....
Over the past couple of weeks the engineers have been advising the pilots on how to disrupt the airline to maximum effect.
The industrial action by engineers bought the company to its knees and backed its then chief executive, Geoff Dixon, into a corner.
The current chief executive, Joyce, clearly wants his baby, Jetstar, to take brand ascendancy but he understands he cannot sacrifice Qantas mainline in the process.

From the article:

The real issue for Qantas is that it wants to undertake a seismic shift in its own cost base - but its ability to do so is being hampered by legacy wages it pays to its long-serving mainline pilots and to a lesser extent, to engineers and cabin crew.

..But of course Allan, you want to keep the legacy safety record don't you?

The reality is that your low cost exercise will end up giving you Garudas reputation for safety.

Did you hear about the ICAO audit of CASA?

Third world regulator + Third world Staff + Third world cost base = Third world safety outcomes.

But of course "legacy wages" will remain for CEO, the board and members of exco. That is a given.

I'm pretty sure the orange poster at the SIT has a black horse visible within it. You have to look really carefully but I'm sure there is one there. Must ask Krispy Kreme what it all means !!!!!!!
( we miss you doogie, you gave us sooo much fun last EBA) !
OK, that's it from me for this EBA, far too busy trying to get a replacement George Foreman fat buster grill for the smoko room from Timber Deck !!!!!
Good luck to all during the EBA, you're all worth every penny you seek.
