Just as many Americans think there is nothing outside of their own country, and that everything evolves around them, it appears that most QF LAME's hold the same insular views.

Sorry boys, it isn't just about you.

I think you will find that the greatest loss of jobs for Qantas Maintenance workers came when 680 positions were made redundant after the closure of Sydney HM. This came after countless years of wage restraint and pi$$ weak union support. Since the LAME dispute last year only 5 LAME positions company wide have been declared redundant. They were all in Cairns and due to the Jetstar takeover.

It wasn't the LAMEs who cost $130M, we gave them 18 months to negotiate and they wouldn't. Turn your anger to Geoff he is the one who wanted to blow $130M.

Not just GD. Turn your anger to our new Chairman. Make no mistake, Clifford (union hater) is pulling the Leprechaun's strings.

You're a bad man Blow'n' but spot on the coin.

In regards to the topic at hand, in my short years in this company and as a LAME (just over ten) I can't complain with what this present exec has delivered so far however..........................

Have needed SP and the ALAEA's help in the past and they were superb.We need all of thesr expertise and I hope no other LAME's are put in a similar position to require their assistance.

I've stated my stance on the question raised in this forum, you lot need to grow some cojones and do the job. The company needs men who will stand by it not destroy it.

the man that tried to destroy the company left about a year ago with $12m in his kitty

Johnny V, man u blow
QF1 spot on the FOD campaign was one of the funniest utubes I've seen
I honestly can't see anyone challenging but I've talked to a few who want to be a part of it
