For those poor guys who are left behind working not just for Sunstate, but any of the Craplink bases. Take a good look at the survey conducted by Steve P./ALAEA. Simply if you are good at your job and not just good at sucking up, there are other companies worth working for. You may even start to enjoy your job again.

Six months to try to justify Qantas's disregard for any of its work force.

Tarmacrat, I heard a rumor that 'somebody' received a 'show cause' last friday at 1655. Obviously I cant say who it was.

ALAEA has an active freedom of information request sitting with CASA on Sunstate. We may need to expand it to rope in the latest show cause.

Still waiting for the Federal Court decision. No idea when it will be handed down.

Hi gobbledock, Thanks for the up date. I only known one or two of the managers at sunnies by name only, one from up the east coast of QLD. From 15 to 20 years ago. He had a funny high pitch voice.

Also Qantas person told that the hangar in Brisbane was closing down for a refit for 12 months? Is this the hangar which sunnies use?

Was hoping to hear how the engineers at sunnies are going, on there EBA and the pay docking, now my mate out of the place. Or have they been forgotten by all, ALAEA, Qantas and the thread.

ALAEA never forgets its members who are making a stand for something that is right. I went up there two weeks ago and had lunch and a meeting with the members concerned. I spoke to their Rep earlier tonight.

I have just heard from a mate in Cairns, that from CASA looking in to Sunnies, that now Narendra Kumar GM, Paul Lidbury Operations manager, have been pushed out of the Business and David Delahay Line Maint. manager, pushed to the side.

Is this a good thing?

Who going to take David Delahay position?

Yes, a few more need punting as well but those 3 have done most of the damage.

Anyone with a pulse could do the job better than DD and also PL. That pair should pay for there lies, deceit and damage they have caused and I am sure they will not be missed.

I wish those remaining all the best and hope that the new managment provide some support which has been severley lacking in the past.

A little bird has passed news that they are still showing the door to the good guys. Though only a contractor he tried to resolve some of the problems and got shown the door for it.

The entire Qantas Group are a disgrace.

They promote idiots and get rid of anyone who wants to do things properly. They simply do not want people finding things wrong with aircraft when they inspect them. In their eyes the best LAMEs are the ones who just pen things off without looking.

This is not Qantas, or not what it was when it was a great airline.

Agreed!! What we are seeing is the grand finale of what Darth commenced around 2003. The geniuses have spent years cutting costs in the wrong area's, destroying morale, making horrendous strategic decisions, wilfully and destructively pushing experienced and competent people out the door and incompetently destroying a reputable brand. Congratulations to all the academic parasites at the upper echelon for making yourselves a laughing stock. Your legacy as you eventually exit the back door will not be a legacy of competence, brilliance, skill or vision. Your legacy will be for taking a strong, reputable, solid brand which was well oiled and highly polished and turning it into nothing more than a skid mark.... Well done ds.

All will leak out in good time....Those who know about this issue can't comment publicly about this matter for the time being. The Gulag are watching this thread very closely, so for the moment things are 'safety first'!

DD position
I would asume SH would be in the job at least for the interim and KP gets to step up some more (thanks Pappy).

Show cause!! Surely now SH is in the big job he will sort out all these guys cutting corners and dragging down what should be a vibrant energetic workplace. The right guy for that job
