The NZ brothers warned that Nastyswine was brought to QF to swing the axe, they were right. The smiling assassin has done his duty, will he be gone now?.

Perhaps you should come out with another 61 point questionnaire
As an failed Indian wannabe pilot since 2002, I fail to see how anything you say has any relevance. You're a troll, you don't work for anyone involved, you're probably the product of rich parents who paid for you to do your training in America or Canada yet seem to have done nothing since, except fail, judging from your posts.

You post threads about dealing with burnout from being ignored by everyone you apply to amongst other things like 'why don't they fly syd to jfk direct', yet you seem to have a perverse like for alan joyces actions, wishing him to come to your native India and deal with the union scum over there.

Here's a hint, get a job, work in the industry, don't be a scab and then come back and have a valid opinion. Until then its best to just keep your irrelevant, invalid opinion to yourself.

wow. excellent research. With skills like these you could probably solve the Kennedy assassination. Better still you could turn around QF international and stop the 200 mn hemorrhage (google the word if you dont understand it or ask your parents to explain it to you) so that JQ can actually be spun off and not keep having to prop up QF.

By the way, whats getting you so worked up if the opinion is irrelevant and invalid. Or is it?

Wonder if Qantas and Project 7 will or are already are joining forces to reduce heavy maintenance Labour given there involvement in Toyota sackings.

Everyone should be asking where the unions are as well as they all seem to have dropped of the face of the planet in the past month.

Jethro

What would you have the union do? Lobby a State Liberal Govt?

Make open book concessions to Qantas? Over many years Tulla staff have met and exceeded performance targets, repeatedly. This has made no difference as performance, expertise and capability will be sacrificed by an airline hell bent on short term political and industrial gain.

Not unlike the closure of H245, this 'consolidation' makes no practical sense, money will not be saved. But management's KPI's will be met.

This whole episode stinks.

You could always pick up the phone Jethro and call your union.

Where's the ALAEA,
I think Sp was standing in a picket with PALEA Filipinos that had a ten
Year pay freeze, then sacked then offered their jobs back
With a 30% pay cut whilst the airline profits multiply and the execs rape it
They're not even cheap enough.
Why is dishonesty and white collar crime so acceptable.
Why do managers need more to perform better, but their workforces
Need less (fyi that is a rhetorical question for some of the thicker trolls on this forum)

The ALAEA is also meeting with QF on the many varied combinations
Of maintenance scenarios, finding the many baseless and flawed decisions
The ministers fail to act, CASA is aiding the farce by its compliance
With whatever QF decrees. The Once sort after Australian Lame licences are no longer internationally recognized.
You can only keep chipping away, or resisting in hope what made qf is stopped before All destroyed.

All the unions are in a very difficult situation in 2012. Many laws are currently more focused on protecting the rights of companies and the one percent than they are focused on the rights of the individual. The more people who join the unions and support them equals more power to all of us as individuals, and more rights , and better working conditions .

Unions in a difficult position, with a Labour government? I think not.

Interesting, that they need more time to come up with a decision.

The idea of consolidation of HM was thrown around a couple of years ago. What work was done in that time? Have these fools any idea of what they are about to destroy?

Probably attempting to siphon a few more goodies from the Qld/Vic governments, whilst Joe Blow on the hangar floor turns up every day doing a decent days work and wondering what the hell the future holds. I would imagine there is quite a bit of stress about. Levels of stress that the CEO deemed required the grounding of an airline.

Morons.
