Merged: QANTAS/ALAEA EBA
Nunc est bibendum
So what is Qantas up to.....
Whilst the ALAEA are working hard on their case, QF is also working hard on theirs....
Be aware of who the PM and the Treasurer are beholden to.
Story here.
KEVIN Rudd....was playing pop-in and gladhand everyone (at the State of Origin) when Strewth spotted him in the Qantas VIP box. Qantas chief financial officer Peter Gregg, hosting the evening in chief executive Geoff Dixon's absence, wasn't serving dagwood dogs but rather more up-market nibbles such as battered prawns and miniature quiches. Kev08 didn't stay for long but Treasurer Wayne Swan settled in for a comfortable sojourn.
Story here.
He says he is disappointed it wasnt settled today-well,so are we.
B in eba means bargaining,negotiating means a very similar thing.Maybe he has got a few ideas to bring the parties closer together.If he has-lets hear them and all the bans/limitations can go away and we can move on.

Question for Fed Exec
Msg from Dennis Ratcliffe
GGM People
"....no request for annual leave (that includes Annual, Long Service, Days in Lieu and Rostered Days off) will be granted in this period....."
I though we were entitled to Rostered Days Off because we worked more than the 38 hour week. If QF are now removing these RDO’s, haven’t they now gone outside their legal boundaries and forcing staff to work more than the 38 hour week.

I liked the other paragraph in the article:-
Plays every week... has 2 holes in one twice in 12 months....a total of 3 in career.... and still on a handicap of 23 ????? I think his figures are as rubbery as they were when he was in parliament.
Maybe the rest of the flight has to have lie detector test?
Maybe the club puts on free drinks when some one gets a hole in one?
Cheers.
I liked the other paragraph in the article:-
Hawke's ace in the hole
FORMER PM Bob Hawke has had his second hole in one in the past 12 months, the third of his career. The Silver Bodgie, a fit-looking 78, last week aced the 144m par-three 16th hole at Sydney's Bonnie Doon club, where he plays in a regular weekly four-ball with three mates. Labor's longest-serving PM, who plays off a handicap of 23, had a hole in one on the 156m 12th hole last September, on the morning before he had lunch with former US vice-president Al Gore. His first HIO was in Canberra in the late 1980s.

I had a laugh (typo - look) at OJS on my way to attempting to get some consumables from the tool crib. Nil Stock again - better get tech services to draft up an EA for an alternative. 5 minute job done in 2 hours, chew up tech services time as well, but QE management know how to run the place at an 'amazing' pace. And they blame US for going slow!!
Anyway, back to OJS. It's still well and truly stuck. Don't know where the fumes are coming from. Hit and miss - numerous engine runs, ducting out, ducting in, engine runs, remove all a/c ducting, 'melt down' trim air mufflers (nil stock Boeing) - two weeks later still clueless. Thank goodness the ops managers have been calling all the shots. They are worth the $2 million that Qantas is paying them to keep the place running.
I don't think we need to take any PIA. Management's actions, past and present, are shutting down Qantas Ops all on their own.

MH uncovered
A quote from todays Sydney Morning Herald pg 10 "Singapore police had issued an international red alert about the man, whose initials police gave as MH. He is understood to have been an associate of Osama Bin Laden"
Draw you own conclusions people, to me it explains a lot.
I wonder if GD is also under investigation? We all know he is doing his best to destroy one of Australia's greatest icons.

Late notice just issued. Pls pass word around.
Apologies for a notice being issued late on a Friday afternoon but a couple of urgent matters need to be highlighted.
Tank Entry
The ALAEA have been advised that there is some confusion regarding the application of various Qantas Policies related to fuel tank entry. At the end of the day Qantas Corporate Policy overrides all other documents regarding this matter as it contains the safest standards of compliance to Regulations particularly for first aid and rescue should it be required. Members who disobey Corporate Policy could be the subject of disciplinary action from the airline up to and including dismissal.
This being the case, the ALAEA recommends that only members who have attended and passed the 3 day version of confined space training should be involved in entry to tanks and other confined spaces.
Hong Kong A330 Coverage
Qantas are attempting to send A330 A-checks to Hong Kong. Any member requested to accompany an A330 or any other aircraft outside Australia for maintenance should first contact the ALAEA before making a decision to accept an overseas posting.

So tell me...once you resolve this dispute...which I am sure you and Qantas will, are you still going to be anti company, or will you be pro company?
Is that a fair question?

Obie, I'm not an engineer so I wont attempt to speak on their behalf.
But in my opinion it's possible to be in dispute with an organisation & still maintain a post dispute pro-company stance.
Problem is MANAGEMENT sometimes need a reminder about whats being neglected.
In the case of Qantas, the importance of supporting the community via charitable donations & assistance to special programs is important.
So to the the environment & the impact of company operations to it is important.
So to the initiatives to support Australian sport & developing new sporting talent is important.
So to the Australia's youth displaying talent & excellence in there chosen passion & fields or indigenous Australian's & the communites from which they come is important.
Problem is for some time its the employees & the airline whom have been neglected. So now its their turn to highlight the damaging effects of management decisions & this is the only avenue via which there voice can be heard.
Good luck guys
