Thanks for the support Steve,
It makes my job up in FNQ a lot easier when I have the union backing
to work as much overtime while my workers are out trying, in the end to get me a payrise.
Lots of Love from FNQ

Back to the thread, thanks Rim.
A very pertinent post from BB on another thread.
I couldn't agree more. By the behaviour of some Managers over the past few days, the steady as she goes campaign is working, and working well. Managers look rattled and unsettled and desparately offering alternatives to have members break ranks.
Keep faith with the Bexley team and your mates and we will see this through, hopefully, with some management carcasses along the way.

The longer this continues, revelations adverse to management's agenda surface, and will continue to surface. More time for inquiries, more time for scrutiny, more questions to answer. Political, public & journalistic sentiment & commentary is running very strongly against management. Journalists are questioning the ad campaign, and can see through the deliberate "Trashing" of the brand by management and not the pilots. Pilots do not want to see the brand trashed, but clearly management do, for their own nefarious ends.
Time is not on managements side. Force them to make the moves, force them to sack pilots & engineers, don't hand them a licence to shut the place down on a platter. This is a marathon, not a sprint, patience.

Tony Lowery the new manager of Heavy Maintenance.
Great credentials,
Currently Director of maintenance at Southwest Airlines (past 6 years) who oversaw the failure to carry out maintenance inspections on their 737 aircraft for fuselage cracks which resulted in a 10 million dollar fine from the FAA in Oct 2009 and subsequent "in air sunroof mod" of a 737 a year later.

You cannot be surprised in the least that they went outside to fill Keith's shoes. The team don't want anyone with legacy airline baggage occupying the upper levels.
Oh well, lets see how he goes. He's obviously on board with the teams plans for the qantas group.

Oh Fed Sec I wish you can be on the tarmac to watch the cracks appearing in the network already and we haven't really got started. Guys slowly getting into gear. Lucky you haven't called for work to rule or they might have stormed the chairmans lounge again. 3 big boys wouldn't have left the ground.

From what I understand the ops managers are started to feel the pressure and the word is that they are not enjoying their jobs at the moment...
Some have suggested that perhaps they should have stayed as leaders instead of entering into the domain of Smoke and Mirrors!
Something else being said is "do they honestly believe the drivel being spun"
Good to see that OT bans are making it all seem worthwhile and can't wait to see what the next notification will be...
