I think 2009 will be a tuff year for AJ. Maybe GD's exit is perfect timing for him.

Time to stand up n be counted again !
The PIA is over and you guys had a win, and it was great to see the ALAEA and LAMEs working together for a just cause.
I am not saying you go down that path again, and you probably can't anyway.
My point is why can't a few of the 'old heads' ie very Snr LAMEs and the ALAEA get together and have a meeting with GH. He has been doing customer contracts for years, he knows what they are worth.
He may be the boss now, but most will remember him as a snot nosed snork !
He has made it to the top, but how long will he stay there? If he can't make this dis-functional Line Maint operation work he will be gone ! ! !
Apply some pressure, you must still have lots of multi-licensed LAMEs who can do customer work. Maybe bring back the old pier 'C' concept (now I am showing my age).
A properly structured and managed customer group will make money !
Give GH a dig and see if he is willing to listen and make things right !
If not, see him off like MH ! GH has to eat and live like the rest of us, he needs his job. His choice, work together for the betterment of us all, or work against us and his life at QF could be very hard, and short lived !

Just to add a snippet about QF not wanting to do other operators a/c that QF doesn't fly,ie BA 777, I heard some juicy gossip that a merger between QF and BA has been given the thumbs up by the government regulators. So if QF/BA is one then surely they will service anything BA flies to our sunny shores.

Interesting reading was the court transcript of the ALAEA v Qantas illegal wage dockings during the PIA. Especially at page 36, PN259.
“THE COMMISSIONER: Sorry the question is - just answer the question, your counsel will clean up after you, we’ll be here all day if we just don’t answer the question. The question was did you make any investigation to see if there was any alternative arrangements, if the answer is no, just say no?---No.”
Sounds like the Commissioner wasn’t at all happy with the way SIO mgr DM was answering the questions.
DM is another one who should be following MH out the gate!

FMU I concur
Considering his background you would've thought that he would know better than to pee off the commish.
Then again perhaps HE thought HE did know better than the commish and it backfired on him big time, seems like he knows as much about the dealings with the IRC as he does aircraft maintenance!
He is a FULL TOSSER!
P.S this get's it back on the front page!

Unsuccessful application
Sorry Short Circuit you lost me there?
You were unsuccessful?(trust me I have lots of those letters too)
Surely the new boss has made some positive changes by now?
If not I think things are looking grim for all, including himself !

G'day lads, howz it all going at ACS?
So far, little has changed.
Management dodging any serious questioning, that way they don't have to lie to you in the face. Bridging relations? No chance.

Sorry I stand corrected, never did like ACS anyway.
At least you have a title that can be identified with now.
I hope there is more positive developments soon !

GH today announced his 'new' line up.
Same flies around the same dung.
A great opportunity to realign on the right direction, however, wasted with the usual suspects having even bigger portfolios.
What a shame, but unsurprising.

I agree clipped
a complete disappointment.... to say the least.
Why do they persist with the same "team" that were the instigators of this disaster we are now in.....??
How do they justify so many levels of management....
GH....... disappointed old mate.
..........................................next batter up............
