When is the next cull at QF Engineering?

[ALAEA Fed Sec]

I don't know why they keep changing it and we are absolutely astounded that they have released cutoff numbers for each section. What safe airline would do that?

[Slim Dog]

Is the union still pursuing a reduced hours roster to save employees or any other potential measures?

[ALAEA Fed Sec]

We are looking at all options. The main one being our demand for them to re-calculate how many people they need because they have left a whole stack of stuff we do out of the charts.


Leave burn also seen as the simplest option if numbers are still too high.

because they have left a whole stack of stuff we do out of the charts.

Steve - any chance they didn't include it because they intend that to become stuff you don't do? And are just trying to slip it by?

I'd call it a cunning plan but none of the Qantas management are smart enough to have cunning plans.

As long as they police it properly this time. I'm aware of a guy who was saved by it last time but decided to employ every tactic he could to avoid actually using any himself....suffice it to say there was very little 'forced' on him!

[ALAEA Fed Sec]

We've thrown some options at them to automatically build in days everyone in some sections take off as leave as part of their roster. Equally applied to all.


Yes Kiwiconehead. I have no doubt they are slipping in changes here that they don't want to consult over. I'd like you blokes all to be conscious of this though and not assist them by cutting corners on the job. It does happen every day now and anyone concerned about job security may not need to look further than themselves.

I haven't wandered through EOC for 10 years, maybe more. What a sad sight, the workshop map brings a tear to the eye.

Is this the silence (white space) before the storm???

Nothing has come out over the past few weeks, any updates?

[ALAEA Fed Sec]

We are meeting with the company Tues arvo guys.

Even though I'm starting my new job with Qantas' direct competitor on Tuesday, I'll be thinking of all the guys who helped me through my apprenticeship, wishing them all the best for the future, whether with QF or not.

[Clipped]

Thanks and good luck to you e0.

Ducks In A Row?

Is Qantas's latest manoeuvring the equivalent to them lining up their ducks in a row?


- Extra O/T being put on to clear up coming maintenance.
- Expressions of interest for VR closes in a couple of days.
- Next meeting with ALAEA being held in a couple of days.
- A bit over 12 weeks until the 20th September.
- Managers being repositioned for approx. next 12 weeks.


Beware the TAPPER!!!!
Don't trust "Your friendly ops manager"!

[King William III]

Knowing these clowns....if they line their ducks in a row they're likely to trip over them....

[Jet-A-One]

It will all happen this week.

[savage1qan]

Is this a rumour, or good oil????

FRIDAYS ON MY MIND

Rumour,This Friday coming townsville refueller saw it in his water sample

[CoolB1Banana]

If the company and the association met on Tuesday, when will we get feedback from either?

The EOI is closed. How long can it take to draw a line through the list and start informing people where they stand?

I don't know anyone that doesn't want this over and done with.
