I`m sure there`s more than 250 LAME`s that have had a gut full of the bulls&%t. But, the more LAME`s that fight this out, the closer to the door Joyce & the board get. The longer Qantas will live on also. Maintain the rage!!!

Redundancies
The problem with redundances is that there will be a thousand engineers fighting for the 250 positions. Almost everybody will have a look at the money and the smart ones will run with it.

They wont offer VR until the EBA is settled imho cos they don't know how it will turn out or know how many LAMEs they will really need. That combined with the new regs does complicate things for all.
I know plenty who would walk.

Sounds good for the line blokes
This is a bit of a harsh one on the Heavy Maintenance guys, seems like a dream run for line. A simple roster "swap" by individuals would see line guys pick up a lot of extra cash. It seems like heavy maintenance guys will be cut off at the knee's and be boxing on over a weekend shift, I think this one should be thought out a bit more or changed to effect only certain locations. This PIA will be detrimental to members in heavy.

Ok, its game on for Engineers v QF
The rolling strikes start next week as just announced in the Australian. THIS is the time for the public to be made aware of what is actually happening. Perhaps its also time for the pilots to join them. "We cannot continue to see the company go downhill under this board and management we the pilots and engineers are determined to save the company blah de dah de dah." Over to you fellas, time to unite?

So far, stop work meetings of 2 hours (not strikes, rolling or otherwise) & QF have the option of calling in rostered off personnel to cover for the shortfall in manpower.
If the company do this then no disruption to the customer plus cheaper for them than employing "scabs".
Can't get much fairer than that I would guess, so to use the terms with strike attatched is a little harsh on the Engineers.

Airsupport..... what is going to save the company? How about investing in advertising, product, an end to jetstar canibalisation and executive remunaration that is a true reflection of company performance.
While we are at it, there is no STRIKE action taking place.

Okay, well don't go crook at me, the initial post said rolling strikes. 
Mind you I can NOT see how ANY kind of industrial action is going to SAVE the Company.

Mate, you could offer to work for five cents an hour and it would make no difference. Managements minds are made up. It is not about money, it's about power and control. They don't like to be shown up. They want compliant little Asian people who don't talk back.

Get a grip...Again!
If some of you misinformed posters would care to do some research re 89.
QF Engineers are not going on strike they are taking Protected Industrial Action.
Lawful action ratified by Fair Work Australia.
