a complete disappointment.... to say the least.
By the way, I thought the SIT boys were supposed to be getting back a few contracts in exchange for allowing some extra casual workers. What's going on there?

just wondering,QF have contacted me as an EX HM LAME for the casual postions,are they paying 100k for 6 months as before,or is it a new deal.
Not to mention a bit of extra money for sufferance, because no matter what you'll be labelled a sc*b anyway... not for strikebreaking but for taking someones overtime, or their training, or keeping a AME out of being a LAME, or just because!

SIT Contracts
My hopeful optimism was very short lived. The same inexperienced guys making the same bad calls, whilst feeding the low morale on the floor. Maybe Lyell Strambi will be our last hope.

OJK is still down in Manila because Philippines don't have a hangar for the aircraft to be repaired. This is in response to QF's desire to not want to take back the certification of the PR A330's. Way to go guys. We have a couple aircraft down (OJK Manila, QPA SYD) and our overly edumacated management can't see the impending wreck happening before them. But all is OK as we have the new pride of the fleet and saviour of the company, OQA to save the day.
And to top it all off, a couple of new layers of management have been added for whatever reason. Maybe we should label QF engineering Sara Lee. Layer upon layer upon layer. Maybe it is felt that the ineptitude of our previous/current management (not much difference really) can be hidden by all the layers of puffy cream with the strawberry on top.
How far can this madness go? Are the lunatics really running the assylum?

The only contract that has returned is JAL. QF is still quibbling with BA about only doing the 747's and not the 777's. Silly really, as BA will still have to keep guys here to sign the 777. Even sillier, is that QF is still paying our guys the 777 payment until the contract is formally terminated.
But all is OK as we have the new pride of the fleet and saviour of the company, OQA to save the day.

And if anyone had any sense, the A380 crews could be earning us extra $$$ by taking on the SIA A380 contract instead of sitting on their a$$es waiting for ours to get built. I am sure there would be a bit of work on it while it stops here in SYD, a prime opportunity to get it done and rack up a bit of experience for the guys.
I am led to believe by the guys that work for SIA engineering in SYD that SIA have instructed both their engineers and aircraft security to stop any QF personnel approaching the aircraft or trying to get aboard. This is how much poison QF has injected into what were prime customers paying for QF aircraft at S.I.T.
And to top that off, the QF Team A380 crews have enough on their own plate with the beginnings of infighting amongst themselves and with the management.
Aaaaahhhh. Just another day in the sunny paradise of QF.

QLD spirals into the abyss
And then they give QLD to MT. Let the paybacks begin. The guys in QLD tell me there will be a buggery campaign soon but not from the engineers. The manager, by his very style of management and history of pay backs and harassment, will force a buggery fight by all concerned. The dispute is far from over in QLD in fact it seems to be worse than during the PIA. The word from MTS is QLD work is backing up and being forced onto other ports. At least his budget looks good. I wonder how long the other managers will allow that to go on.

How many layers
Multiple layers of management didn't save M, ultimately the buck stops with G, and he knows it.
I think he has made a big mistake not re-engaging the workforce.
As for MT the lads will sort him out !

There is a task force of Lufthansa Technics guys invading SYD Base at the moment.
H245 is cleaned out and ready to occupy. Looks like the end of Aus Base Maint?

Mel Line Manager on last warning.
All contracts dumped during pia about to return in a stepped approach over next 3 months.
Union have a Qantas based media blackout atm and this will remain in place whilst positive moves are taking place behind the scenes (such as the removal of M).
