Slow and steady
It's inspirational to see how we have gone from a fractured group to the united workforce we are now. Problem for GD and down is that engineers deal in the truth and the more GD and his cohorts lie the more offside the entire workforce is. There is little sitting on the fence left.
We are outraged at their lies, we are sick of their greed and we are UNITED in our action.
We are not going to be riled into doing anything but what we are allowed by law and every time they escalate without provocation is another sign that this era of greed and shortsightedness is nearing an end.
After the dust settles fence mending will require a huge shift in management. The current leadership structure at QE with the legacy of this offensive campaign will not have the credibility or the respect of the workforce to move forward.

Sounds like the almighty are starting to crack, with a leaked sc@b list, PAF's identity coming out and some dirt on KB. What next?
Please PM me the list. I have some people I would like to show it to.

Any chance of being mailed that SC@B list. I would be interested to see who I need to take off my Xmas card list.
I was offered the $100k myself 6 months ago but there are somethings you just dont do, and this is one of them

It is just unbelievable that a 4 hour stop work meeting of HALF the rostered staff could bring Qantas to deaths door. The pax are being told the delays & cancelations are because of defects. True statement. Because of the outsourced maintenance” aircraft are just totally unreliable and can not make schedule. Added to this the amount of engineers who have been forced to leave has left Qantas with a major dilemma, not enough qualified staff to rectify the problems created offshore.
Many times this last few months hordes of management teams have bunkered down in crisis meeting for days, been overseas in meetings but not a single skip of a heartbeat, but engineers take a quarter of a shift and only half of them and it is absolute chaos.
Now you tell me, who deserves a merger CPI wage increase?

How the hell does Dixon and his band of muppets think they are going to win this WAR. They know by now the members are not going to back down and believe me things can and will only get worse for them. How do I know? Well when someone has lost all faith in what they used to believe in then they don't give a **** as to what the outcome is. I believe 80-90% of all LAME's now don't give a **** as to what happens to the former great airline QANTAS and will ensure that the current mob of subterranean filth get what they deserve, and if that means the closing of engineering in Australia, well so be it!
Well done ******** in ruining the careers of many good people who were in this industry long before you even knew what a 747 was. Remember management only stay a few years, engineers stay forever.
On a closing note, karma will eventually catch up with you all!

Thanks!
To all of you QF employees who are not LAME's and are having to bear the brunt of the war between us and the company..Thankyou!!
Your support is greatly appreciated!
When next you come to put one in the chamber I hope that we will be able to stand by you as you have stood by us.
Perhaps the spirit of Australia is not yet dead after all..
Likewise to our non-QF colleagues and members of the public thanks also for your support. You can obviously see through the rhetoric and misinformation and understand the reason for our fight. It is unfortunate that you are caught in the middle..

Sorry Hotdog
I disagree. I have watched most of the LAMES around me grow more and more determined and stronger in their resolve as each day passes. Even those docked in the last round of report back meetings are proud to have contributed. Some who were not even interested in the dispute at the start are now becoming convinced that it is going to be a hard, worthwhile fight.

In regards to GD`s latest. How much money did it cost to fly the board to New York including hotels etc, to discuss something thats happening in Australia I wonder? F*&^ING hipocrits!
PS Don`t forget to tell ALL the foreign operators that there is a strike on, at SIT on Monday & Tuesday also. Wouldn`t want a/craft waiting off bay, would we. Heard the saying, couldn`t organize a p*&s up in a brewery.

Selectively quoted from News.com. (I've learned from the QF manager of disenchanted staff). The latest Trends in Australian Public Opinion report, which charts the changes of voters’ opinions over the last 20 years, shows Australians have also become more supportive of increased social spending and trade unions.
Big business is now seen to be more dangerous than unions, according to new data.
A hangover from the pro-business era in the 80s may be the reason why Australians now have less fear of unions and want more money in social services, said Australian National University (ANU) political scientist professor Ian McAllister.
Professor McAllister said the fall in people seeing trade unions as a threat had nothing to do with Labor being in government.
“It’s something that’s happened irrespective of which party’s in government, so it’s what we call a secular change,” Professor McAllister said.
“In the 1980s, people were seeing trade union leaders in the mass media, and they saw them as being the bogyman.
“Now there are very few strikes, very little industrial disputation and they tend to see more people in big business acting badly.”
He said people were growing tired of the focus on market reforms and wanted more social reforms.

"People in big business acting badly"
And I'll "refine" it one more time 'cause our management can't cope with more than one phrase or concept at a time,
"Big business is dangerous and acting badly"

Would very much appreciate that "list" PM'ed to myself to share amongst the throng at tomorrow's stop work meeting. Thanks in advance.
Patience my friends, we will prevail. To the few out there who still don't get this fight and continue to go above and beyond to get these a/c out on time and be seen as a hero- you sicken me to the core. Thanks so much SAA for supplying us with these individuals- NOT!
P.S. Not all of them are bad eggs mind you.
