Reading these couple of Qantas threads it sure seems like a bitter and treacherous place to work. I hope for you rsakes I am reading it wrong but whoa it does not look like it!

Hi Gas Bags,

Can you imagine that I would beg for this position?

So many people, so many stories

Mate, After reading these vitriolic threads and still stating that you would beg to work for and with these people you must be in a terrible place. I for one am glad that I have open eyes, foresight enough to see the world for what it is, and the gonads to up and out of a workplace if it even approaches what the QF front seems to be.

Seems to me that if the place drives people to do things like are suggested in these threads, they can keep it.

Its not that bad Gas Bags

Its just big company syndrome, the different sides just come with the territory.

Being the biggest employer in aviation in this country it is also the comparison point for how everyone else is getting remunerated.

Most other workplaces ride on the coat tails of what we go through to a certain extent.

And also like most big workplaces, its full of competitive competing sides that are always trying to outdo each other. The previous management regime created such a toxic relationship between the management and the workers that both sides have complete mistrust for each other.

The previous battle for a fair wage increase (ie in line with the inflation at the time) has left the workers with a bitter taste and the previous management regime who were hell bent on 'breaking' us, out of a job. So that from that what you will.

Gas Bags

Depending on which port you are in it's like chaulk and cheese. Dmm's/supervision have a major effect on your work life.
I really feel for the guys in FNQ!!!

Well guys its great to stay in touch with the local scene, it appears not much has changed. Hopefully we are all older and maybe a little wiser.
Does anybody have any interview questions like, when was the last time you were stressed, had a conflict, working with other cultures. I wonder if the questions have changed in the last 10 years LOL

Hi BLF Goon,
Thats sounds like a very sad tale of sour grapes. If the person you refer to has has an A & P i could open a few doors for him. If so ask him to send me and email or IM.
Its such a waste to see soooo much expensive training go to waste.
Cheers
Kylie
