That's right. All Joyce has to do is ground the fleet for a few days, costing the airline tens of millions of dollars, so FWA can rule on your new conditions and save him a few million. I'm sure that would make great business sense in his tiny brain.

Why do you care EWANQF? I thought you had the "realistic attitude that Sydney is gone" ??? Don't worry mate it shouldn't reduce your OT. Prob increase it. You'll be right Jack!

Sorry that I don't work in the Centre if the engineering universe.Actually when the meeting was on I was on shift not in Syd.Feedback from a meeting would be what I would expect considering our reps dont know jack what is going on.Keep your meetings to yourself and the rest of the engineering ports will be fed rumours from pprune.Meanwhile up in Brissy Heavy the boys are merrily working the aircraft on O/T that your base wont.

EWANQF:
I am actually surprised that you are the slightest bit interested in what happens away from Brisbane. Be that as it may...
There was nothing really new or earth shattering discussed. There was talk around data and how the company had arrived at their figures and the models they used. Talk around O/T and the people doing it. Talk around rostering and other mitigation strategies. Talk around the consultation process..

The Heavy Maint blokes can do what they like as far as I'm concerned, it's not their issue. No amount of OT in Hangar 3 is going to elleviate the pressure line management are under right now.
SYD might be the focus at the moment but the restructure will reach other ports soon. Most people out there know this and are not going out of their way to help them out. Instead, we are supporting the association as they attempt to save or mitigate as many job losses as possible. (Thanks for your support EWANQF
)
I think resisting changes in Line Maint that aren't in the best interest of members will ultimately make a diference and save some forced redundancies. Unfortunately for members in Heavy Maint these things tend to play out differently. QF can and will close these facilities overnight if history is a lesson.

They are doing line maintenance overflow work.And there are 2 hangars up and running.So dont think that the heavy facilities are just for heavy maintenance work only.

...erm, you are actually quite wrong. The fact is BNE Base Maintenance is not doing any Line Maintenance work at all. Their plate is most certainly full with heavy checks, cabin refresh on 767 and other modification work.
I know this is the Professional Pilots Rumour Network, so how about you preface your statements with "It is rumoured that..." rather than presenting falsehoods as fact.

Line aircraft have been positioned to Hgr 1 in Brissy Heavy to have work done that could have been done at Syd.That is fact.Not talking about cabin refreshes,C checks etc.Talk to the Bne line lames.

Jettronic , don't waste your time.
Life is far too short to be concerned by agent provocateurs.
Until such time that anyone posts without the cloak of anonymity with verifiable facts it is just talk. Water off a ducks back.

The A380 maintenance work to LAX outsourcing co-ordinator has moved from his office in H96 to somewhere in Admin. It seems that he can't look his fellow colleagues in the eye anymore whilst he shafts them royally to better his own agenda.
It is a low act to go from championing your work area and talking it up to now trying to undermine and ruin the lives of the people that once held him in high regard.

There will always be people who perceive best intentions while they may not fully understand that they are assisting the demise of their own position.
The reason upper management use these individuals is because they themselves cannot effectively manage the change process.
The five year plan has started and we all will be the losers,some will be shown the door ,some will walk freely through it and some will kick the door down as they leave.
Hopefully when the dust settles we may welcome back skilled and experienced people back through it.
