LAME Awarded $85,000 by Federal Court

[airsupport]

Aircraft Engineers are on the list.

We are on the list of endangered species.

Cool, I will tell my Grandkids, that will impress them.

[empire4]

Fed Sec,

Why isn't the association actively campaigning to have us removed from the list. Quite clearly it is not in the members best interest to be on there. This has happened long enough.

[fruitloop]

Well done ALAEA....

[airsupport]

Steve,

I have a question about this, and you would be the one that would know the answer.

Is there or is there not a shortage of LAMEs/AMEs in Australia?

The reason I ask is, as you know I have been retired for quite a few years now however, I still get asked often and quite recently about doing some contract work in the Industry.

So, endangered species or not???

Best regards,

airsupport

[ALAEA Fed Sec]

To be honest, I think there is a shortage in this country. I don't know any of my former workmates who have left Q and have failed to find work if they want it. Most have had calls, possibly I'm the only one who hasn't.

We would be banging our heads up against a brick wall trying to get AMEs/LAMEs removed from the list. Of course it does not suit us but the shortfall has been created by the companies that have not taken on apprentices (Virgin) and taken on about a quarter than they have in previous years (Qantas). 1970-1985 on my account, the big 3 were taking on about 400 first year apprentii each year, now Qantas thinks it is a good corporate citizen by employing about 30.

[airsupport]

Okay, thanks, that is what I thought.

Just nobody tell the Employers.

[ALAEA Fed Sec]

They wouldn't read this site.

Could an Australian CASA licenced LAME get the approvals from the operating airline.

Believe me, smart lame's stay well clear of IASA.

[sky rocket]

Well done. There might still be a hope for our children.

[division1]

Breaking news, IASA has gone bust.
Commiserations to their workers, apparently owed wads of cash.
To think QF spoon fed them to try and take over the Jetstar 330 maint.
QF will be left high and dry with the Rockwell ife maint now.
What other operators have been left in the lurch?
Outsourcing... reap what you sow.

[another superlame]

Wow Division1 i am a bit speechless. No doubt this will cause QF some drama without the LAMEs being involved at all.

This is QF reaping what they sow.

The website uses this picture of their expertise to lure future employees,
As one of their better lames once apologetically explained to me
they are a bunch of cowboys to work for,
picture worth a thousand words...


Hey unionist, that's not you there per chance?

[ALAEA Fed Sec]

A very good result , congratulations to those at the union that prosecuted this result

Thank you, we were pleased when we heard this today. This is one two bob maintenance outfit who walked into multi million dollar contracts with Qantas that cost countless avionic LAMEs real work. They have been undercutting industry rates and failing to pay super and other entitlements to their workers. They have been found guilty of acting illegally against foreign workers at the expense of Aussies and to the detriment of the poor buggers who want to be Aussies.

Mario - Would you like to tell me again that you don't deal with unions?

[Jethro Gibbs]

Very true but has the lame got his 85k before they went A up ?

[ALAEA Fed Sec]

Very true but has the lame got his 85k before they went A up ?

No. He is back at home in Indonesia and lines up as a creditor like everyone else. Remember though there are a couple of dozen employees that IASA owe thousands in unpaid super also. Better those jobs move to someone who pays them correctly.

This mob had a LAME working in Sin who had a falling out with them due to unpaid wages. He resigned and went to leave the country but they wouldn't let him leave becasue he owed $7500 in unpaid income tax. The company had just pocketed the money and not paid it to the tax dept. The Engineer was put in custody until he could find the money himself.

This mob needs to be shut down and the managers put in jail.

[listentome]

Pity someone can't line up AMSA next, I'm sure they come close to exploiting the 457 process at the expense of Aussie jobs?
