PAF, Don't you have a thread that is a positive move for you. Somewhere to hang out with like minded people.

You actually give me a laugh as I can just see you in the Monty Python skit knocking of the door for Arguments.
Do you know that one?

Knock Knock ....Is this the Arguments room? No This is the Abuse room, The Arguments room is two doors down.

You are one funny guy.

Common Sense Guys

To all guys and girls personally affected by the current destruction of QE by our collective management, we have to keep our eyes on the ball.

To put it more simply DO NOT rise to the bait on this forum from those wishing to bait us
.


This thread has come very, very close to being closed by the moderators!

To date we have shown collective unity and our morale is at an all time high!

Do not let this vital means of communication be closed to us all by playing the man!!!!!!

Just stay on the topic, being thoughtful and considerate of others points of view.

If someone upsets you, do not respond, ignore them and rise above their ignorance!

Stay united and keep calm.

Good work, SP and the Executive, under your leadership we have been more united than ever!

Regarding the OGT No RTS signed.

Remember back recently when a Cairns LAME was stood down for some time for incorrect placement of a witches hat.

He was stood down for breaching QF policy. Mind you it was for incorrect placement.

So if OGT was allowed to FLY with no RTS either someone has to get sent to the sin bin or QF is REALLY bending the rules to suit itself. Unreal!

Also, while the 4 hour stoppage was on recently, QF procedures were broken knowingly by the Scabs. They were told in one case that the wrong thing was being done. No action to get legal was taken. It resulted in delays to sort out the mess these guys left. Quality lapses went in etc. Result, the whole deal was swept under the table.

These guys will and have changed the rules to suit themselves.

What a great example these so called Leaders of our company have shown the young AME's.

Well done idiots!

PAF's a phantom! Good!

I noticed the QF1 didn't go tonight; it's now due to take off at 0730h (Mon).

Thank God!

Now that PAF has gone can you guys now focus your energy on more impoortant matters.

But before I finish rumour has it from one of my spys in MEL Heavy that possibly 'The PAF' use to work as a contracted LAME in MEL Heavy Maintenace some years ago! He had a nick name of, what was it again, ummmmmm, Oh that's right - Ten Thumbs!

Anyone watch 60 Minutes last night? According to them with have heaps of oil that there digging out of the ground in Alberta, Northern Canada. This supply is apparantly the second largest world supply! The report then went on to say that here in Australia we have huge deposits of shale oil that's waiting to be exploited. It did use to be mined some years ago but was shut down because of the vast quantities from Bass Strait. Might want to tell GD to download this story. Here's the link:

Look forward to hearing/reading about your next round of stop work meetings guys, keep up the great work.

Boardman

There has been many instances of policy and procedures being disregarded. The company only seems to use them when it suits.

The witches hat incident in cairns wasnt the only one up there (but probably the most famous).There have been many where they tried to hang people,one person was once stood down for writing on a blank piece of paper,another has been forced into redundency because he went home for tea (as many other people did frequently including people currently in higher positions).

The way some staff are targeted and victimised is a direct reflection on the Qld manager and his dmm's.

These few instances are the tip of the ice berg.

SP thanks for all you and the Executive are doing. Please advise the unions thoughts on media ad's to highlight QE's problems, the alaea's claims, the state of QANTAS in general - are we going to see newspaper or tv ad's?? I feel we may be losing the 'hearts and minds' of both the travelling and general public - stress the iconic status of QF. The latest QF ad campaign calls us 'the most experienced airline in the world' - we are losing that experience every day.
thanks again

moderators - thank you for your time

I believe you are right.

Also 1 SIT LAME just stood down for not doing a shift swap to fly to NOU.
Is this even legal Steve?

Unless the guy was foolish enough to say "no I'm doing PIA" then surely this is harrassment or bullying, or both and the manager in question can be sued?


I say enough, time to make an example of one of these QF management s


On another note....wouldn't want to be in payroll.....I'm still having trouble figuring out if I'm part of this stop-work or not......what chance do they have!! Check those pay-packets VERY carefully.

LAME's don't give in to GD, we are counting on you to be strong.

You have the support of the public as well as the cabin crew. I was involved in a lengthy delay due to stop work meetings and all the pax commented on GD being an aole. we like being safe.

Also don't let the people down who have turned down $100,000 for 6months sitting on their bums for the principle of solidarity.

Best of luck to all of you!!!!!!!

hear Hear

Gents, this is about way more than just 5% now. This is about forcing a culture change on QF management
It won't happen while Herr Dixon is still in the jack-boots but make no mistake, the unrest and discontent has been noted up high and there will be a changing of the guard or this airline will be gone in 10 years!!

Just remember Qantas Engineering managers wouldn't be managers if they were clever

HANG IN THERE, they haven't got the backbone or attention span to succeed in a drawn out dispute.
