golden triangle

Steve,when you mention that your belief is that adl & mel will be hardest hit-have you any idea as to what percentage of workforce you are referring to?

Qantas is going back to its roots - Sydney. The VIctorian and South Australian Governments should ban public servants from using Qantas for duty travel.

The comment about the golden triangle was straight from management feedback meetings over the last couple of weeks. No idea what the impact will be though.

Numbers
83 SAM
31 SIO
38 Moving from SDO to SAM
16 Support shops

Plus the remaining 15 not already redundant from last year.

Good luck everyone there is only one job that really needs to go
But also about 14 operations managers who add no value.

Are these numbers LAMEs only or a mix of both?

Tony Lowery quote
As a result of these decisions, it is likely that up to 300 positions will be affected.

Looks like Sydney took the biggest hit today. Not good news in MEL or ADL either. Any JQ engineering staff to be made redundant as part of the 5000 losses from the Group.

Isn't that the plan? Transfer the labour to JetStar & have them on JetStar T & C's.

I think i remember AJ saying he is employing apprentices and continuing to invest in Australian Jobs, well what a load of BS that is.... I believe they just gave them a few jobs even though they are sacking people!!

I am completely bewildered(not that i wasnt before) after hearing that the guys who have already applied for redundancy now have to apply again.Even if there are a few a380 or a330 licences in there,isnt the number1 aim now to reduce costs & preserve jobs of those that want to stay-lets get over this ongoing sage of excuses i.e.operational requirements.
There are plenty of options to cover the loss of a few licences,let the guys go quickly that want to go & then look at new applications for redundancy or transfers to other bases,there are plenty of managers in each base now to work out licence coverage & reorganisation of crews if that is whats needed,time for clear & concise action & put all this to rest as quickly as possible for the good of everyone.

Big payouts will be required for the legacy Lames.

Small payouts will be required for the Neo Lames.

300 Engineers from 5000 to go. Where are the other 4700 going to come from? One is way too many.

58 LAME's to go from Melbourne LMO.

20 from Adelaide.


......And if we're realistic, that's just this round.

Even if one is lucky enough to survive this round there is more in the pipeline after R&D is handed over to the bag snatchers.
