You can thank EASA for that!
Excuse my ignorance, but when did Heavy maint become Base maint and Base maint become line maint, guessing that crackpot Cox had something to with it and the stupid ACS banner.

Actually he bought it from Amazingly Dumb People. I doubt that clown, like those that worked under him, had a single original idea of his own.
Interesting to read that by seemingly divine intervention (or geoffstar actually paying their own bills finally) QF international suddenly is making a profit……..GASP….who'd have thunk it……
Guess they don't need to sack us all…….oh wait….we're Domestic now….and it's struggling to survive against the monolith that is tiger……
Daresay there'll be some mutual todger tugging at the 1/2 year tomorrow over their amazing turn-around effort…….
Cheers
Manage an airline? They can't even manage a redundancy……..
David Cox had that other great idea - the tragedy map.

Qantas Engineering redundances - Advice required!!!
I heard 80 starting next month in BNE base. I personally know of 5. With all the people out of work it must have been easy for them to employ.
With regard to the Qantas recruitment process and time scale I have been through many of these in 4 different countries, and in my experience Qantas is as bad as the rest in the industry.

Just Say NO to The YES men!
What are these YES men going to do if you just don't accept redundancy.
Just say NO if you are tapped.
Make it as hard as is humanely possible for them to get rid of you.
Do not accept the deliberation of idiots who are totally wrong.
Nappy Stain needs a bit of Nappysan to clear the air.
It is as bad as watching Julia, trying to justify why there is no mining tax benefit for the people of Australia. The only reason that she is still in power is because the mining companies control the Labor Party.
Fair Work Australia is the biggest joke on Earth. All it does is keep the real troops quiet.
They have lost their way and so has Qantas.
REVOLUTION is in the air.
I miss the smell of NAPALM in the morning.
Don't let them get away with it.
Take Five.

First-half earnings
"Qantas has revealed the extent of the pain from the battle for passengers in the domestic market, with both its premium and low-cost flying operations suffering declines in first-half earnings."
"Qantas’s domestic operations posted a 34 per cent fall in pre-tax earnings to $218 million in the half, reflecting the battle for lucrative corporate customers with Virgin Australia."
"Qantas emphasised that all of its operations including Jetstar were profitable apart from its premium international division. But it highlighted the fact that the losses of Qantas International had been reduced by 65 per cent to $91 million in the first half."

Can't wait for the knee jerk response from the genius ruling class.
One things for sure, more exec & management positions worth millions in salaries will be created at the cost of real frontline jobs and an extremely thinning profit base.
Also worth a note is the fact that usually major companies make most of their profits in the "first half" of the financial year.
This redundancy cloud is here to stay with a rolling process of VR/CR for many years to come.

Profit eh,
Who would have thought it!
It must be getting near to bonus time.
The savings must have come from not having to pay the wages of the staff
who have already left or maybe it's the money they saved not paying overtime
( well a few 380 hero,s and an AMU rep aside ).
A pilot the other day had a bit of a laugh and pointed out that QANTAS are dropping routes faster than the public are dropping them!!!!!
Take 5 is correct , just say NO and lung it out as long as possible.
Don't let them retrench you. I heard it worked for some of the ex SYD heavy guys. They just kept coming to work and I believe they are still with us.
On that note let's take 5 and reflect on some of our managements triumphs
A380
Lean sigma
No money in freight
Old technology 777's
Maintnex
Giving away contracts
Qantas #13 on safest airline list.
Closing heavy
Selling off our spares
Feel free to add to the list, I could use a laugh
It's amazing with the benefit of hindsight how often the people
who "don't understand the business" are correct.

Fed sec we need to know a bit more about the job share, its a big call to make a job on half pay or no job at all, People need time to digest this, and after you are in scope you lose this option

Don't think just saying no and keep comming to work is an option
once they have lifted your asic. Some of the Avalon guys might
confirm once tapped, you are saying no to yourself in the carpark.
