Sitting down for my evening read of Pprune thinking of a quote from Sun Tzu 6th century BC.
All warfare is based on deception.
For the members out there remember early on that we did advise you that some strange things will occur during this campaign.

Steve,
Obviously I do NOT know what you are up to, however this is NOT a good thing to have in the media.
Scared the sh%t out of my Sister-in-law who was in the process of booking several QF flights to Europe.
Best regards,
David.

Couldn't agree more QFBUSBOY. With all the crap that went on last time around, it wasn't until the extra plastic slips were needed to cater for all the extra greenery that they started to take us seriously. Especially when those magic three letters M,E & L started popping up more often...
It's obviously not something the association can instruct (not in writing anyway) but use your initiative and GO GREEN! I think you'll agree, this will help our cause more. Save going left handed for when you need variety w@nking....

Are we as bad as the people who can't hold attention spans beyond 5 seconds.

And yes, there have been plenty of times I've had to use my left hand to do up some obscure nut, even though I'm right handed. Olivia would have me sacked if it weren't a PIA period at the moment.
Get a grip guys. It's a technicality, not a blanket action.

Will someone please tell the pr!cks at the ALAEA that April Fools' Day was three and a half months ago and that the citizenry will not be buying their nonsense?
Ken, quite simply, pi#s off. You are almost as annoying as Wirthless hair style. You really need to wipe the yogurt off your chin and go back to doing what you do best - being a complete knob in private.

a point has been made, a marker laid down, an opponent's strategy disrupted.
Nice move.

From AMT magazine today -
Must be good to work for an organisation that actually respects its staff!!
American Airlines Pays Tribute to Elite Mechanics
FORT WORTH, Texas, July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines is honoring a special group of Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) for their lifetime achievement of serving five or more decades in the airline industry.
At American's maintenance facilities in Tulsa, Okla., Kansas City, Mo., and Tampa, Fla., the airline paid homage to eight AMTs with the FAA's prestigious Charles E. Taylor "Master Mechanic" Award, which recognizes the lifetime accomplishments of senior mechanics. The award is named in honor of Charles E. Taylor, who worked for the Wright Brothers and was the first aviation mechanic in powered flight. To be eligible for the award, a recipient must have served 50 years as an accredited aviation mechanic and have been an FAA-certified mechanic for a minimum of 30 years.
"American Airlines AMTs are the best of the best, and these gentlemen exemplify our high standards. We commend them for their excellent service over the years," said Jim Ream, American's Senior Vice President – Maintenance & Engineering. "For 50 years, our Master Mechanics have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the safety of our customers, employees and fleet. They have set a very high bar for future generations of AMTs."

When I heard of this I was disappointed as I thought it reflected badly on all LAMEs.
However, now that I know what is behind it I am fine with it, still think it is a shame it became so public, but there is a VERY GOOD reason behind the tactic, do NOT worry about it.

It would be good if all you 
girls would show a bit more faith in the ALAEA executive.
No good voting for action then bagging the exec every time they are metering the action as they see fit.
Just because you don't
understand the action taken doesn't mean it is the wrong action.
Stick together and we will get the required result.

Some more quotes from Sun Tzu
Sun Tzu also said
"In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good".
The constant attack on the brand through these types of tatics will shatter and destroy QF - is that what you all really want?
And yet another quote from Sun Tzu
"If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril".
By taking action that is seen as frivolous by the public you all show ignorance of what QF could do and you show how un professional your Association can be.
For SP to say its all part of a plan is one thing, but I hope it does not lead you all into peril.

Two possibilities here:
1. There is something "going on" and if so why not enlighten us?
2. There is nothing "going on" and you simply seek to appear self important?
Which is it do you think?
Until that happens my participation will be limited to those actions I understand or those that have been explained to me.
Blind trust is exactly that - blind.

Can't wait until we tell them we're only going to use left handed hammers, only replace the spark plugs and muffler bearings on 737s, only use metric adjustable wrenches, only place orders for striped paint and only replace the dehydrated water tanks on 747s ...
