Jethro, I know its crap what is happening but you can LEAVE. Go get a job somewhere else. If you are good enough and skilled enough then you'll be fine. Realise AVV is dead, QF is dead. Stop whinging and talk with your feet.

A stand at the Airshow?
No. We had one years ago. It costs about 25 grand and on a return for investment basis it is not worth it. We do sell something, membership. The people who attend airshows tend to be aircraft enthusiasts, not Engineers.
We would prefer to send a team to Vegas each year to showcase what we can do in the global Aircraft Engineers competition. When over there we share experiences with our counterparts and we always rank high in the final standings. Btw I have never attended the comp, it is for our members.

Qantas is leasing 747s for freight ..fact .
Or are you talking about the 3 x 744 that EFA have looked at in Victorville. That may be leased for the QF freight contract?

rtv et al..
To quote someone try enclosing the subject text with "[/quote]" at the end of the text and "[quote]" at the beginning of the text. Sorry to have written it this way but when used in the correct sense the "quote" command disappears. Not very helpful when trying to illustrate a point.. And it goes without saying that the quotation marks are not required either. Apologies if I'm telling you how to suck eggs..

This comment to The Geelong Advertiser says it all about whats going on at Avalon.
LOTS OF OVERTIME BEING DONE LAST NIGHT and THIS MORNING... Qantas Management, Senior, Middle and on the floor you are an absolute disgrace. Friends removed in a humilitating process and you poor excuses are still pushing Overtime. Clear we don't have enough people... let the Aircraft wait.

EFA has been looking at 744 and even contacting potential crew
Oh it seems iPhone does not support the quote function

Qantas has 744s in Sydney and Victorville, plus plenty of crew!

Yes, but the QF ones have the 'wrong' engines and lots of pesky seats….makes it hard to load the pallets with all those seats in the way.
Besides, if the freight mob 'buy' them by passing on AJ's cheque then they don't need pesky Qantas pilots to fly them…..
….this way they can have a fleet of 744's and STILL get rid of all the Qantas pilots and engineers………
A-holes
