Why anyone would listen to this waste of space I don't know.
The minister for toilets and cleaning for years who gets shoved over to be a "manager" of an engineering section. Another clown with no idea - just like the rest. He must feel all important if Grunter can take on the same role as a 20 something AME. ( isn't that Dave p an ex trades assistant from domestic? ). Not being able to run a chook raffle is definitely a required trait for any of these surplus to requirements managers these days.

QE Management Buggery Campaign Recommences
True to form, the Railway Casanova is at it again! The Texan is going to prove mild compared to the one who is positioning to take his spot.
1) The positioning move - engagement survey. (The one they had to extent about 5 times to give the ops managers enough time to browbeat engineers into responding).
2) Use result to forge ahead with plan already decided.
3) Wage freeze in, now reduce everyone wage by introducing roster changes.
(Forcing through some new rosters to start in January, voting to commence before Xmas, using the company stooges to help push them thru).
4) Unproductive use of manpower to justify poor management decisions implemented / demoralize workforce. (Most qualified tow crews in existence, working engineers in departments just sacked from due to lack of manpower, under resourcing A-checks, etc., etc.)
And this is the start of 4 years of peace???

It wouldn't matter if you got a 10% pay rise plus training on every new and existing aircraft you would still find something to whinge about. Get over yourself.

if you really want to screw with a manager next time they complain about anything suggest that perhaps they are not suited to the job and that maybe a career elsewhere less challenging might be an improvement. you don't have have to clarify who benefits the most.
the look on their face is priceless!

Not managerial crap,you lot just need to get a grip on reality.The world is a very different place to the world you QF LAMES live in,yet this is the market your employer has to operate in but somehow you don't.

Engineering
- Syd Heavy - World's best turn times, quality product, nil outgoing holds.
- Tulla Heavy - World's best turn times, quality product, nil outgoing holds.
- Line Engineering - Best OTP, minimal holds.
- immense corporate/industry knowledge.
- when asked, have worked with management for betterment of company
Management
- close Syd and Tulla Heavy operations
- many no longer in industry due poor performance - "encouraged" by Qantas to "pursue opportunities outside of Qantas".
- fail to meet acceptable standards for a successful company; growth, profit, return on capital, dividends.
- losing court cases for harassment, failing to honour contracts, failing to consult as required.
- price fixing convictions/fines, a/c selection (A380, B787)
I think engineering is holding it's own in it's market, I don't see that management are.
Think how good engineering could be if they had good management leading!

Washed up,No.Bitter perhaps.I was one of those that was part of the worlds best practice in 245,and while we where all being shown the door in 06 all you company suck holes sat back and did nothing.What was it again,oh that's right.Its only those cave dwellers being shown the door us legends on the line and base will be right.Were legends,match too important to be shown the door.
Well suck it up princess's,you are all only a number,total expendable.Time for you legends to find out what the real world is about.

sys4, you chose to be made redundant back in 06. If you wanted to stay in the industry you could have. Like many before your exit and many since, you could have relocated to where the work was. You chose not to and took the money.
You'd think 8 years after the fact you wouldn't feel the sense of glee by getting on a forum and throwing barbs at people that didn't throw themselves at the sword so you could preserve your job way back then.
In closing, take some responsibility for your own life and stop blaming others for where you've ended up.

So does Qantas reimburse LAMEs that did a type course of outside ? If not well i guess we are in a race to the bottom like the pilots paying for ratings. And a coupe of years from now we will be complaining that our last Tech training school is shutting down.
Have management implemented a training policy? If not are we going to see the old why was he/she recognized and i wasn't, even when they sat together in class on the same course.
oh and then there is the old time since last training that keeps getting talked about, so there is about to be some pissed guys/girls that are so call next on the training that are going to be jumped by people that have been trained recently.
