seriously, I dont know anyone who has a good grip on exactly what was coming when , but I think the next lot will be the regrade backpay from Jan 2008 until now.Prob a bit less than the first tranche of $$
The letter we got was not exactly clear and the hair splitters and bush lawyers in my workplace had a field day.
No doubt one of the "experts" will work it out to the .01 of a dollar but frankly if it is close to what was sent to me in the estimate it'll do.
I have enough trouble working out the freakin' payslip every fortnight!

Pay
A reasonable person would have thought the back pay would come with a line by line statement of what makes up he total amount. Instead we will have to jump the hoops through Peopleconnect......"sorry I can't answer that, I will get pay section to call you"..then pay section.

BP, you could die of old age waiting for people disconnect to answer a query.
I dont think a line by line explanation is beyond them after all they need to work it out so must know exactly where every dollar comes from and why.
Not holding my breath but just happy its sorted, sort of.

I'm across some of the syd int issues but not aware of the wilkinson sword reference.
no point in posting the scuttlebutt if the general populace dont get it.
I just hope the contracts start to come back.

From what I hear, I dont think many other contracts will be coming back too soon. Whilst most other airlines are trying to get as many contracts back as possible to bring in revenue, as usual QF lack the insight and timing to do this. Mainly because a few think OT and Tail payments makes it un-economical to do so, regardless of what cashflow maybe incoming.
When we were sacking LAME's left right and centre, other airlines were recruiting. And now that we are re-employing, others are freezing the workforce. Sound familiar? I have not seen many business moves that have made much sense from our short sighted management.
On another note, it seems strange that when we were in good economic times, chicken little was clucking that the sky was falling but we went on to make a record profit. Now that the future economic outlook isnt so good, I have heard them say we are well placed to ride out the financial tsunami. Should be interesting times ahead. I think 2009 will be a tuff year for AJ. Maybe GD's exit is perfect timing for him.

JHAS are looking for B747-400/PW4000 LAMEs for the SIT. Don't know the airline they would be handling, but as far as I can recall only United, Air Pacific and SQ operate them into SYD.

B744/pw4000
United used to have it's own team, and SQ is done by AMSA.
Air Pacific is part owned by QF so surely they will still handle them?
What news of GH has he taken the reins from MH?
Surley GH knows the value of customer contracts?
Oh on the other hand he did give up the SQ contract in 2005 !
Why don't a committe of LAMEs meet GH to discuss?
This is a pretty important issue for ACS guys, a lot of bread n butter involved. If customer work is handled correctly you can make money !
I recall customer work in some ports covered the wages bill for all QF guys, therefore QFs aircraft were covered at no cost.
About time a few Snr LAMEs/DMMs paid GH a visit the gave him a good slap around the face to wake him up !

Let's hope that the snoozing managers do wake up to see the error of their ways and have balls enough to say we stuffed up, let's see what we can do to fix this. I live in hope!

The problem with the backlog of work is that we in ACS have backed off to 99% output. Prior to this we were running on 120% which was not sustainable, especially during the PIA. Now that we are over that (some what) we again can ramp up to 100% and the SIO boys can go back to making money for the company.
We have lost a lot of experienced LAME's & AME's and will suffer for many years to come, however, with some guarantee of training and removal of those who want to kill the LAME progression, we will once again rise to the the call.
QE will never attract AME's until a guarantee of training and progression is assured.
