Dave Cox to leave QANTAS!!!
 

Apparently there is an email to the select few that Dave Cox(not the one in CC001) is about to leave the building to pursue another career outside the Qantas Group.

Can anyone confirm this?

If so,we would all like to thank Mr Cox on his past efforts and wish him well in his future endeavors outside the Qantas Group,blahdy,blah,blah,blah,not.

Yep, confirmed. He leaves on 03 July. Interesting to note his title changed recently from Executive General Manager to Group General Manager, which is a demotion in QF.

Anyone know the phone box location of the going away do?

Wonder if he is getting out of dodge before the government formally changes the golden handshake rules for incompetant fools?

Nor is he a member of the 'Executive Team' according to the compan'y website. Justice!

His departure date is 3rd July. Does this means that no one will know the departure payout etc until publication of the annual results for 2009/10 which won't be publicly available until sometime late in 2010, and more than 12 months after he goes? Once again, it appears that the shareholders are being taken for mugs. Who will tell Nick Sherry of this farce?

Now .. who's next?

I'll start - Green must go.

GD
MH
PS
now DC

the team that drove the LAMES to PIA are just about gone.

The only thing that irks me.... he goes on his terms with his perks in tact.
Another one of the new age saboteurs who gets out without any accountability for their actions.......great.:ugh:

Yep, it's white collar crime.

Heard some of our ex-manager's are plying their trade with a Malaysian MRO. Now about that Joint Venture up there ... What would they be up to?

and the odds are -

Bruce 15-1
John V 1000-1
Dick 250-1
remain vacant 3-1
Kevin 66-1
Adrian 6-4
Murray 4000-1
Steve 100-1
Keith C 7-1
Osama 5-2
Rod 50-1
Chris S 12-1
any other 10-1

AC/DC
 

Good riddance I say.

This clown has presided over POSSIBLY the worst period for the once proud EOC,E&M,Engineering traditions.

His media performances were nothing short of appalling.

What goes around,,,,.........come around-next job for him will be a Doonside tow truck driver !

Word is out..........that next week ( Mon,Tues) there will be many,many more announcements like this one at very senior levels.

BRACE BRACE BRACE......HEADS DOWN STAY DOWN.

I've heard Smasher is 'draughting' up a CV as we speak. It makes sense, DC faked it.

Article from: The Australian
"LONG-SERVING Qantas executive David Cox is leaving the airline after six years in charge of its maintenance operations. The 23-year veteran, who was last year at the centre of intense scrutiny of Qantas maintenance in the wake of two serious accidents and a damaging industrial dispute, was responsible for several significant developments at the airline. These included introducing the QantasLink brand and involvement in selection and entry into service of B747-400ER, A330 and A380 aircraft. He was also responsible for restructuring at Qantas engineering that saved more than $500million."

I think they left a few things out...............I am laughing on the inside!

AJ and LS are not idiots. They are aware of the problems within engineering. There are a few managers who have every right to be afraid. Their time has now come.

There will be a great deal of change in the near future. Hopefully for the better. And to those managers, just stay focused. The shoe is on the other foot now guys........:ok:

The news of David Cox leaving the fold has a comforting sort of feel to it.
So then, here's a nice song for Dave...
- Time of Your Life (Good Riddence) -

Good riddance....tool

........another one bites the dust!
 

apparently another one of the former EXCO members got the punt today.

The AJ -enema is certainly doing the trick.

Wednesday will be THE BIG FLUSH

as a former HM Lame who has left the industry due to this pr!ck,i'm thinking there is finally justice and a blithering idiot has got his just deserts :mad::mad::mad::mad:

MAS Engineering hopes to maintain Qantas aircraft
By Leithen Francis


(Re-releases to add Qantas comment)
Malaysia Airlines Engineering and Maintenance (MAS EM) is hoping Qantas Airways will send some of its aircraft to Malaysia for heavy maintenance checks.
MAS EM senior general manager Roslan Ismail said in an interview that he is hoping Qantas may have heavy maintenance checks on Airbus A380s as well as Airbus A330s and some of its Boeing 747s done in Malaysia rather than Australia.
He also says MAS EM and Qantas are proceeding with plans to establish a joint venture that will utilise MAS EM's heavy maintenance facilities in Kuala Lumpur.
He says the two sides were originally planning to start the venture in this year's third quarter but now it will start in next year's first or second quarter.
"They [Qantas' maintenance and engineering bosses] said give them a few months to sort things out," he says.
"They have a new CEO at Qantas and they have this union problem."
Qantas executive general manager government and corporate affairs David Epstein says, however, that there are no immediate plans to send aircraft to Malaysia for maintenance work.
He says it is too early to make decisions on A380 work and there are no plans to send 747s to Malaysia as this work is carried out in Australia..
He also says Qantas has been in talks with its engineering workforce about having A330 work carried out at Qantas' maintenance base in Brisbane.
In addition, Epstein says no discussions are currently taking place on the proposed MRO joint venture with MAS, adding that it will not be possible to have it operating early next year as Roslan hopes.
Qantas appointed Alan Joyce as new CEO late last year and the unions in Australia are opposed to efforts to outsource work overseas.
But MAS EM has made inroads with Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), the regulatory body that needs to be won over if Qantas is to be permitted to outsource work to Malaysia.
CASA has already granted MAS EM regulatory approval to work on Australian-registered A330s, Boeing 737s and 747s.
MAS EM is well placed to get A380 work because Roslan says Qantas has no A380 hangar, although Epstein says Qantas has a 747 hangar at Sydney Airport that has been altered to accommodate A380s.
Roslan says MAS EM has a purpose-built aircraft hangar at Kuala Lumpur International Airport that can fit two A380s and one other widebody simultaneously.
Malaysia Airlines has ordered six A380s with the first to be delivered in January 2011. But MAS EM needs to have 20-25 A380s to work on to justify the investment in equipment to carry out A380 maintenance, says Roslan, adding that it is hoping Qantas can provide the necessary aircraft.
The Australian carrier has already come to loggerheads in the past with unions over efforts to get work done in Malaysia.
A few years ago Qantas was looking to get MAS EM to convert some of its 737-300s to freighters. But following union pressure, Qantas ended up doing the work in Australia at its facility in Avalon near Melbourne.

Things must have changed.

I worked in the same department as Dave for a number of years, and had a working contact with him when he was promoted to Director of E&M I think it was. I left QF in 1990, but at that stage, had always found Dave to be a nice person, and obviously fairly smart.

Like I said, times or people have changed if the negative comments I am reading here are correct.
