If it's $2K it's just chickens
t.
What we want is a realistic pay increase, and a management that has some concept of the scope of our job,instead of looking at us with contempt. These guys think we are just running a factory, but you can't go back and claim your warranty at 35,00ft.

$2000 sign on bonus divided by 3 years =$667pa after tax=$400
Remember
this is not compounding
It will not increase your super
It will not increase your wage
It is just a bribe
thanks for the offer of 7.80 per week over 3 years
But I will take the 5%

sweetners mmmm let me see
Ok let me see what sweetners could we wish for?
I know, salary sacrifice of mortages. (I'd like to see that)
I believe it only takes a quick letter to the ATO from QANTAS saying the they wish to provide this programme for their employees and once approved by the ATO, it's all systems go.
Whilst we are there, throw in salary sacrifice of health insurance for our families. I bet everyone on this forum could come up with a 1000 ideas.
Oh, by the way Geoff, I STILL WANT 5%. I'll bargain at the sacrifice of some managers

$2000
But wait, we'll probably be asked to give them something in return for their 'generosity'. Creation of a B scale for new starters like the sandwich servers perhaps.
Sorry that should be a C scale, B scale is post '96

Doctor Doctor
On a positive note
I went to see a doctor today, new guy in our town. I started telling him what I did for a living... He came straight out and asked me what I was licenced on. After I picked myself back off the floor he told me he use to be the former Chief Medical Officer for QATAR Airways. He has just moved into our area as a partial retirement. He has been following this PIA since the start and told me to pass on his support to everyone involved. He told me that he and the other doctors in the establishment were all 100% supportive of our cause.
I started to feel better almost straight away
And Guess what? He gave me airline discount for the consultation

Off topic: question to site moderators/admin
Probably the wrong place for this, but is it possible that when users delete posts that a "Post #3977 deleted by [user/mod]" note remain? It'd still allow users to remove the content of their post (the post above shows why this is a good feature) but keeps the context of replies in place. Otherwise it can mess with the flow of the thread (for instance, if captaindejavu deletes his post my reference to "the post above" won't make much sense*). That'd keep post numbers correct too - which is important when people make references to them. Several times in this thread people have replied directly to a post number - all those references are to the wrong posts now.
A related aside: do the permalinks to posts still work when earlier posts have been deleted? That is, if I permalink to post #100 and posts #10-#19 are deleted, will my link point to the same post (now #90) or still #100 (which isn't what I originally linked to)?
[/off topic]
* edit: he did! or PPRUNE's database is being funny again. Anyway, he mentioned a good reason deleting posts should be allowed.

Have spoken to an IT guy, and for all of you that are worrying about your identity being found out, you can't be found guilty if you have posted inflammatory remarks as all systems can be hacked and someone else could have posted them using your name, as long as you never admit to posting anything it can't be proved, remember the visiting of a porn site on the qantas internet system, i forgot to log off etc. as far as you are concerned it could have been your wife, son daughter or neighbour that was in for a beer and thought he would have a bit of fun, so if the worst ever came never admit to it.

vortsa.
You could not be further from the truth - and that is a very unreasonable statement!!!
I can "see" the deleted posts and I know and understand why they were deleted. Every post was in support of the aircraft engineers.
You stick to your campaign - I'll manage this thread!!

"Now the media are scrutinizing these threads more closely, perhaps all the company stooges have removed their contributions, not wishing to be found out??"
