Our claim for Qantas Club membership is not for free membership.

It is a claim for Engineers to be able to purchase and use their membership like 20,000,000 other Australians can.

We wouldn't want those grubby Engineers up there though would we.

Not saying you guys shouldn't be paid up QC members, but was it wise to bring this up in the EBA? My understanding is that you can't use it while on staff travel/duty travel anyway, so why bother to to try and save a few dollars salary sacrificing the QC membership for maybe a handful of flights you pay full fare for?

This has only given fodder to AJ to use as spin, and didn't he use it today with the other AJ. I hate seeing you guys slaughtered in the media.

Just remember that AJ and most of his cronies were amongst those that helped destroy Ansett in its final years.

They are now doing to one iconic airline, what they learnt to do at a junior management level at another.Brand destruction by stealth.

They may not have all been there at the final curtain call,but they all had their fingers in the pie as managers on the rise.

Its just extremely sad that just because you have had previous airline experience, that you are allowed to try and have a second chance with QF.

Is there any journos out there brave enough to run a story spelling out how many ex-Ansett management are now running QF.It would be interesting reading,especially if it comes about that management are pushing for a double dissolution style scenario of pushing pilots & engineers into a serious strike scenario.

Maybe some of these big funds that own a large portion of QF should be wondering loudly what these managers are actually doing with their money? It would be nice to see in the public forum that in the last dispute, management spent $150m to not pay the LAMEs $20m. Try and explain that to shareholders AJ.

Hey unionist1974, my partner wants to know if a mortgage and two 10 year old cars are considered assets or liabilities.

Why are we worried? In an interview with Siva Govindasamy (Airline Business 23/03/10) Alan said,
“Qantas has an unbelievable history, an unbelievable brand. I'm very proud to be the custodian of this history going forward. Qantas employs 35,000 people, who have an amazing passion for the brand. We have the diversity of 92 different nationalities. In which other country in the world would you have one of its major brands led by somebody who was foreign born? That is something to be very proud of."
Benjamin Disraeli was wrong. There are four kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, statistics and Alan.


Alan stop being proud of being Irish and start being proud of Qantas. We are.

Troll, indeed. What I don't get is that plenty of other Pprune contributors have been sin-binned and banned for much less than unionist dribbles on about.

Maybe some of that wine, or iPads have made their way to the Pprune offices. Surely, not!

Yes, I agree with qf1. Unionist1974 is one of the previous ALAEA execs and was definitely there when Bruce D (RIP) headed the ALAEA.
I really would have thought QF would have given him his testicals back when he retired but apparently they still have them.

It truly saddens me to see what our once great airline has become. After nearly 30 years of service this is the worst "management" I have seen. It has now become KPI's and bonus driven by short term "managers" making short term decisions. These "managers" stay a short while, suck what they can out of the company and then move on to their next disaster and these "managers" actually wonder why the workforce is so disengaged. I just heard on the radio that another 74 has had a engine problem. I just laugh now when I hear that. I'm not being cynical am I?

You wouldn't care to put a name to your insinuation would you?

Probably not, libel in a forum is still libel.

Simple : No job security = 8% - 8%
Isn't that why they get the big bucks?
