Qantas Engineering Duty travel >>>> Economy only, what the!!!

[Long Bay Mauler]

I cant see many interstate BBJ LAEs wanting to go away with the BBJ for economy class travel.

I think theyre dreamin.

Might as well give it to QDS right away.In fact,why doesnt the company give the whole contract away,as that seems to be the invogue thing to do lately.

Had it been the previous Howard Government it would be understandable maybe, would have fitted in with their work choices and union bashing etc, but to come from a new Labor Government that goes on and on about how they are saving the workers and restoring hard won benefits lost under the previous Government, is absolutely disgusting.

Read the ALAEA Fed Sec quote again:

Outcome - Qantas LAMEs all refused to go economy. Qantas advised Govt that they couldn't service their contract and QDS guys went. The ALAEA have advised the Govt. why and have been told that the next time Qf want a favour, they can jam it.

The Govt isnt bashing the union or the workers. The ALAEA has advised the Govt why QF can't service the contract - because the company is unwilling to send LAMEs business class as per the award. The Govt is telling the company to jam it next time they want a favour, not the ALAEA or the workers.

I don't understand what you are on about.

The Qantas LAMEs did the right thing, and because of that, they will be affected indirectly IF the Government takes it out directly on Qantas.

Depends on the favour QF asks for. Depends on how the Govt takes it out on QF. One hopes, being a Labor Govt, that they'll think it through, keeping in mind the support the unions gave them during the election. After all, the lines of communication are open between the union & the Govt.

I'm sure you are being well enough remunerated for the tasks that you do, get over yourselves...

You obviously have absolutely no idea what this is about, and the history of it, so why make such silly comments?

"It's all about me..."


actually it's all about Murray's ego....


Good thing there isn't any BBJ licensees in base or the usual heroes would be in economy right now!!
