Expressions of interest
I here there are still people in various ports around the network looking for redundancy. If this is the case are QF offering relocation packages to the 50 odd Avalon Lame's ? I know the number of Mel staff who were able to shift was pretty low for all the obvious reasons. I assume the same applies here.
Interesting to see the AVA transformation web page seeking EOI's for transfer, yet no enquiries from HR to other ports concerning VR. Why am I not surprised.
The company attitude seems to be every Lame I relocate now is just one more I have to sack latter. At least with MEL they were trying to manipulate people into Brissy and opened a few jobs on line as a token gesture.

Avalon.
So the usual suspects have managed to do a deal where they stay on until around June to close the place up and as usual no one else knew about it or was asked to apply for this tidy little deal .

Jethro, WHY THE HELL DO YOU WANT TO STAY? oh, stay on the ship until it sinks. This is not Titanic mate, this is LIFE. I don't fell sorry one bit for people who sit on their ass, hand out an say poor me. The place is closing. get over it. Move on, go find another job. Aviation is screwed, and being last out the door is not going to help you one bit.
Bad luck.

Empire I believe if they just go now no package, you may be in a position to just walk but a lot have been there over ten years and cannot just turn there back on this amount of moola. So butt out with your bl***y comments unless you know all facts buddy.
Woops maybe no dough left, sh*t now it does look dire.

FTP, my worry all the long and the reason I've said to leave. Forstaff Aviation is a separate company. How do they pay all the redundancy payments? You think QF will pay in their current shape? NO. Forstaff could essentially go bankrupt. Sadly the public nor the government will not care about 250 people that don't get the money owed to them.
Its a big gamble. I'd be nervous if I still worked for Forstaff.

No problems FTP. I've been through it, and I'm still in the trade. We are all in this together, us against them. Sorry if I offended you or anyone else.

Jethro…..How or more importantly WHY would for staff CR packages be guaranteed by another company? What company in this crazy world would do such a thing? I have never seen it written anywhere to the effect of what you are saying. That Qantas will pay for an external companies payout. YOU ARE DREAMING!
Please share the ACTUAL written contract if you have it stating such. Don't mean to be a bearer of bad news, just being a realist.

QF has paid for redundancies for other companies employees before.
I remember hearing that the failed JHAS A380 tender process was paid for by QF and that the people who were left without a job when it all went pear shaped were offered a golden handshake paid for by QF. Talk about another great investment QF.
I also see the american engineering manager has opened CR to any AME or LAME anywhere in the network.
Alan you really are an inspiring leader.
