GD flexes flexibility muscles again
The latest QF eba statement talks up the requirement to include the Heavy Maintenance flexibilities again, after they were sent to the bottom of the ocean in a vote by H/M staff ages ago. These so called flexibilities are unfair ,unjust , uncalled for and probably worth about 20% in any pay rise. If GD thinks he can only offer 3% or even 5% when we wear him down to included these outrageous claims he had better think again. He can threaten us all he likes but hell will freeze over before we accept this nonsense to be includued in an EBA document .

Those relying on O/T know that if this dipute ends, O/T will be the next to go and then they will be totally up the creek. You cannot rely on O/T forever, only a decent and fair basic wage.
And for a bit of comic relief, the management are holding off on the Syd precinct and performance monitoring until the EBA is sorted out. Why? Because they do not want to upset anyone with it.

qf managers
I have heard a rumor that maybe somebody can confirm;
I heard that one of the managers (running Melb/AVV) has a cross report in against him for turning a 767 around and using the gauges to confirm oils instead of physically checking them, this means a MEDA investigation. My question is: How do managers stay current when they have not been on the tools or keep current with read and signs or Online training etc, not to mention renew of CASA license(s)???http://www.pprune.org/forums/images/icons/mpangel.gif
Maybe the ALAEA better look a bit closer at this.....http://www.pprune.org/forums/images/...cons/icon7.gif

QANTAS Management Course syllabus.
Section 1: How to get everybody off side and still believe that you are doing a great job.
Section 2: How to lower morale by continually threatening your staff.
Section 3: How to cut costs to the detriment of the business but who cares - your bonus is still intact.
Section 4: Recipes you can use for your BBQ/party when you manage to successfully stitch up your staff.
Section 5: Resumes to create after you have managed to completely wreck your section of the business before you move on to your next disaster.

Seems that the head of spare engines has gronks of his own. Our southern brothers informed me that 2 of his cronies went to Avalon for boro's. Best we look up partsmart and see who they were! Anyone have any news on who is doing the Noumea run?
QF Engineers - You are going to disrupt me...
... but you have my total support in attempting to fix the impasse that the management of QF have brought upon themselves.
And as much as myself and fellow travellers will probably spend some extra hours enjoying the splendid selection of treats at the Qantas Club
, there will be plenty of us who are prepared to share a bit of pain to get the message through to the thick skulls of your overpaid underperforming management - that they are destroying their brand. And we want it fixed.

To those that may be wavering...Some good news for the cause.
With the amount of work backed up currently, the Planning Department are running out of people to sort and allocate the work needed or required.
Every hold item generates another EW card which needs to be allocated to a work package which may or may not need deferring.
The crap system is starting to buckle under it's own weight.
The bureaucracy that has been added to the system is helping our good cause.
Secondly, There is much anecdotal evidence that the "City" flyer up and down the east coast is a shambles. With the usual P.A. apologies blaming weather in certain cities for canxed flights only to be met with retorts from PAX saying Bull$hit......
My apologies to the check-in, planners and allocations department for the mess you have to wade through daily.
Maintain the rage for as the Rolling Stones would say.
"Tiiiime, is on my side"
Listening devices... When the manager is addressing you. Tell him that this conversation is being recorded.
Your obligation is met !

Sogi, the ops managers positions were advertised on the new “Taleo” recruitment site. There is a link to this on the intranet “Services” page. And yes they did go through the “usual” HR process. Read into that whatever you like!!

I just saw the "leaked " email between MH and DH.
Getting docked or stood down is one thing,
but getting Buggered is something else
all together!!!!!!
I had heard they called him the "Big Dick"
but I never in my wildest dreams thought
it was due to a "Buggery campaign" !!!
Those poor Perth boys!!!!!
I am so glad that there isn't a buggery
campaign going on in my port!!
Surely this must constitute sexual harassment?
On the harassment issue, Is M calling people people sc*bs?
Sure looks like it in his email to DH.
I wonder if M has done his harassment training?

the latest release just re-enforces my question of several days ago.
When is the association going to take one of these bullying halfwits personally to task.
SP, is it nearly time to start 'playing the man' and start driving our own divide and conquer campaign.........
.......oh, and I was wondering why my derriere had been sore lately.......

When the ops managers are standing behind you, especially cranky franky just smile and ask him what do you think i should do, he hasn't a clue, as when he was on the floor he was a pretty ordinary engineer who would throw a tantrum when he couldn't manage to fix anything, and as an actor and leader he was pretty hopeless, if i remember correctly on the 767 course he was nicknamed refill as all his results were 75%, not a great result for one of our superheroes, but there again he has always said he would do what it takes to get to the top no matter how many a%^es he has to lick. Stay true guys we just have to keep going as eventually somebody who is investing lots of dollars in the company will say to gd enough is enough and hopefully he will be shafted the same way he is shafting us.
