I'm not after him to call a strike, just go after the company not his members. The association has known about fatigue management long enough.

Got a Text today to work o/t 15th nightshift. Called back to accept but was rejected. Must have been that I took redundancy 4 mths ago. Syd base must be in chaos.

Some JHAS guys in Sydney are saying that JHAS has picked up a QF Contract. Has anyone else heard this or know anything about it?

Don't confuse QF with VA, I know VA does it in CHC (think you know as well so my comment is purely an effort to seperate rumours from facts)
I hope you're wrong! Like legacy LAME said, altough it could just be another lie from AJ

737 heavy maintenance has been carried out in CHC by air NZ before. Last aircraft was about 18 months ago. Only classics though then.

Jethro

After a 4 week wait from the induction/interview, medicals are next to be done (ASAP).

But still no news on the conditions of employment apart from a 1 year contract. It would be good to know the rates and accom. situation before entering into what may be a fruitless exercise.

Ava CR and Syd

Whats happening at Ava? Are they tapping 25 people a week for CR or a day.Is Forstaff/QF continuing with a C R program?
Does the Syd CR criteria apply to the 20 QF employes at Ava or has there been a change of plan?
Anyone. When is the selection criteria forCR ment to be released?
Cheers

Anyone who knows anything is being very tight-lipped about it. The company won't say anything and the unions won't say anything, while the guys that are going to get shafted are kept in the dark awaiting their fate.

This is how negotiations are done these days. All sorst of BS being flung around from both sides.

I don't think you quite understand the Fed Secs situation. He calls a wildcat strike and he is in the slammer as well as losing his house.

Furthermore, some of you wouldn't join in anyway, making the effort pointless.

If you are brave, go talk to the CFMEU Boys, and let them advise you.
Sunfish, since when did you become a supporter of unions and QANTAS employees?

I recall you being a staunch advocate of never flying QANTAS and being one of the 82% who choose not to fly QANTAS, making AJ's figures look plausible in justifying his cuts to QANTAS workers. You want a company to survive, support it instead of giving sideline advice and sounding all so knowledgeable, while supporting your favoured foreign airline of choice, namely Emirates.

Fedsec can't call a wildcat strike because they are a thing of the past. The only "real" course of action is an unofficial O/T ban in which QANTAS employees have suddenly decided they are now more family-orientated than ever before and want to spend more time with their families.

Forstaff are just doing as they please and disregarding the terms of the EBA. They aren't telling us so we have lodged for FWA intervention for breach of agreement.

Does the Syd CR criteria apply to the 20 QF employes at Ava or has there been a change of plan?

Qantas keep putting dog proposals to us for selection criteria. It is all still under discussion. They only want to apply 20% of the wieghting towards years of service. The put a table before us and at that weighting every single 330 and 380 licence holder is safe. We have rejected it of course because it effectively gives no consideration to years with the company.

Even with 15+ years service at QF, it doesnt look good at all for LAMEs who only possess a single 767 or 744 licence. It is a crap situation for everyone who has been working hard and are due (or overdue) for type training (if that ever happens).
Not impressed with this management. Slow bake is damn true.
