Merged: QANTAS/ALAEA EBA

[1me]

The old saying "Happy wife - happy life!" could be equally applied to employees. If the workers are happy then productivity increases. If the workers are unhappy productivity falls... Hardly rocket science..

Begs the question then: "Who would you like to see running the company and why?"

[sickofqf]

Expect the intimidation and harrassment to get worse in the next week or two, DC and MH are like cornered tigers.......

They fear their imminent destruction and will lash out like frightened schoolgirls.......

Withdrawel of engineering services for only small amounts of time recently, certainly hasn't done the share price much good lately has it, or am I missing something ???

Got to disagree with the last part of your statement here m8,I beg to differ.

Ask anyone who flies anywhwere in the world what is the most influential reason they would fly Qantas and see what the answer is.

Qantas "profits" ride on the very coat tails of their safety record. Shareholders are just on for the ride. How many people do you know going out and buying Garuda shares.

wantsta I think you misinterpreted the statement. There was a cynical element to it.. You are both agreeing.

Remember the good old days at SIT, when customer contracts were something the Manager was proud to be awarded and did everything possible to get them.

That was only a few years ago before the rot set in.

Started with the removal of KP from M's grand scheme.

Followed shortly after by PC.

That list of customer airlines we handled in SIT made QE money and offset the cost of the SIT QF operation.

What a fken joke you've made of things M.

Bring back BD, KP and PC.

Rant over.

True Story

Very recently, GD was traveling on a Qantas flight.
The boarding F/A was told to not say his name when he passed through the boarding area. (F/A's are told to use pax names when boarding them)

The F/A noticed that GD was standing in the gatelounge facing a pole so no one could see his face.

F/A became busy boarding pax, doing her job as per Qantas requirements and as a result forgot about the likes of GD and consequently used his name while passing his boarding pass through the reader.

Upon hearing MrD name, the surrounding boarding pax realized whose company they were in, began abusing the s..t out of him HAHAHA one very red faced GD and scared F/A boarded the flight.

See, The public ARE on your side........ Don't give up the fight now!

according to a poster on HotCopper QF are spending $495K on fuel to send an aircraft to USA and back empty for a-checks......

Surely it's not that much....that would be lunacy.....

[EWANQF]

$495k

I too see it,Would'nt Kerry O'Brien love that snippet of info.Only 4 more of those checks in LAX and our EBA 5%+5%+5% could have been paid for

[1me]

well stranger things have happened... And really, given the way they have acted thus far, it wouldn't surprise me..

[justforme]

Does any body know what percentage turned up to the stopwork meetings around the country?

Thats OK they have plenty of fuel to spare now they are canceling 25 flts a day.

I wonder with all this excess fuel around the price of fuel will come down. ????
Supply and demand .

Remember when SQ was given the heave ho and told to go? We lost 20 guys just out of S.I.T.

Correct, done at the behest of beancounters and now SIT can only operate day-to-day with masses of overtime and limited leave! Even the beancounters say "yeah we made a mistake getting rid of so many at SIT." WOOPS!

[SeldomFixit]

I asked when the first round of customers were given up but didn't see a reply or at least didn't scroll back that far. Now that all contracts have been terminated ( Is that correct ) who is doing the work, are they taking on Q staff who want to close the door on the shambles it seems to have become and realistically how much cash has Management put into a bag and burnt by ending these contracts ?

Sources from the West last night say that the "Alternate Workforce" worked VH-OJA due to 3 outta 4 Classics laid up.

Can anyone else verify this?

Apparently xx,xx & xx found it in their hearts to help the Perth boys out.

But they couldnt look the boys straight in the eyes.

Shows the lack of training from Qantas management when there is no 744 licences on shift in a busy airport.

[Toolpants]

Per Customers

Don't know about OJA But;
My info is Perth are still handling their customers but the customers have brought their own engineer incase of trouble. I could be wrong.

Hi All,

As a QF engineer also involved in all of this I can only hope that together we all stick together.

Rumors doing the circuit in BNE at the moment is GD intends to lock us out next month and then we individually recieve phone calls after a week to see if we are willng to come back to work for 3%.

My plee to all is that we just stick together. If we don't then we are defeated. Don't let this turn into another 89'

[Dockie]

TJU is fresh out of Lumpa Koala Poo [21 days late but that's is OK] and straight into the Hangar at Mel. Still there 6 days later. Captains #1 window changed because possible cleaning with scotchbrite and a 4 inch throttle stagger among other things. The information that we are getting from the guys that went there is almost unbelieveable. Task cards being signed off without doing the job etc etc. Where the hell is CASA?
Aah! Outsourcing is such a wonderful thing but remember safety will never be compromised.
DC assured us that sending the 737 overflow to Lumpa Koala Poo would be a wonderful thing because it is a world class facility. It's just a pity that they don't have world class maintenance staff. And no DC I'm not zenophobic.

Qmart,

P@ss off stooge.

You and your views are so stupid that it could only be an attempt to scare people, there will be no lock out. Nothing would leave the ground, especially Brissy, who would do the 767 a checks that are being diverted from SYD base..........IDIOT!!!!


You dumb twerps need us more than we need you !!!!



Qmart.......Qantas Martin........hmmmmmmm

[Big M]

I was wondering if someone could give me an update on the progress of M's magical 'Four Pillars' strategy. That was a little gem pulled from a management textbook somewhere. One would think that fantastic, well thought out initiatives like these would be having all engineers 'pulling' in the same direction !! Are the pillars still holding the roof up ???


PPRUNE even has an emoticon for QE pillars ---->

All those dollars spent on talks and seminars at hotels, all those 'Deliverance' trips down the river. Master strokes of management.



hehehehehehe
