Far more did it them selves than people I know from QF who were expecting the company to do it.
So when I come up to a job against you with my full CASA and EASA B1/B2 licenses you can only blame yourself.
I've always advocated that the guys facing the chop can do what they can to enhance their skill base and give themselves a better chance out there.
Some can afford the cost, some can't. Don't put them all in the same basket.
You could be more proactive and encourage your mates with a better choice of words

Empire 4 what?????
Careful you don't price yourself out of the market big guy......The only real cost effective station for a Royal Flush such as yourself is on the moon.
Unless of course you are prepared to sign a whole heap of complex maintenance you didn't witness or understand. At least your colleagues will have your back....

Watching the current B1 operation of the 380 fleet is like watching a very un-entertaining circus.
Problem is they reckon they are doing alright, and management are foolish enough to believe it.

Totally agree five years on from introduction the 380 model is a basket case.
No direction so called integration with Sam and composite crew modelling with limited or no licence coverage.
With the 787 grounded and no Q licensing how exactly will j* successfully introduce the 787?
While the company wishes to throw out the baby with the bath water, I can see 767 retirements being extended much like the classic 747 was. All while redundancies seem to be focused on single type. It is these single type licenced guys who actually keep the 767/747 fleet flying.
When the pillar model is finally introduced there will be even more limited b2 coverage.the only way we can survive after this is to run back to back licence training but sadly nobody wants to address this issue.

I think I'm not communicating myself well enough, I DON'T AGREE with the system, NOR do I personally hold a B1/B2. I'm just stating some facts of our situation. As harsh as they are.
Don't have the spare cash? It all depends on your priorities I guess, I'm sure you could add the 2K to a mortgage or personal loan, you could also sit the basics and hand in elec SOE. There are ways that don't cost too much.
Sorry if I offended anyone, that was not the goal.

re Working large amounts of overtime only hastens their own demise.
You know what bites me the most Steve, these guys as you would know were the stand up guys in our previous dispute. When its over money they will bring an airline to its knees but when anyone else but themselves are losing their jobs they couldn't give a crap. Greed greed greed.
Won't be too long till CN moves on and the next might take the smart decision of releasing the $200,000 a year guys and train up the cheaper legacy guys on $90,000. Thats 3 LAMEs for the price of 1. Sleep tight boys.

G’day all,
ALAEA will be running two Rowers Club meetings nextWednesday the 13th of March to discuss the ongoing Sydney redundancysituation. Meetings will start at 1600and 1830. These meetings are not paidcompany meetings so it best to try and catch one on the way to or from work ifrostered on that day. If rostered off itis recommended you try and get to either meeting. Meetings are expected to last 1.5 hours.
Cheers

Jethro...Jethro....Jethro, how many times have we seen your type in our ranks. Those that dont want to be in a collective, ride off the backs of their fellow workmates and then throw criticism all over the hangar (and here) but offer no constructive ideas or solutions. You dislike everyone and everything but you wont do anything about it. You're boring, your comments are repetetive and predictable and almost as inspiring as listening to C Nappystain delivering his roadshow..........ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

Avalon Redundancy meetings
Steve,
I understand that Brad is assigned to Avalon.
I want to know when are redundancy meetings being held and when you or other high ranking ALAEA representatives plan to address the troops like you seem to be doing for the Sydney members?
