Thanx to all

Thanx to all you guys for feedback and insight.
The ALAEA PIA thread is probably a bit dated ,and we probably need a new thread to see in the New Year, and developments at QF Eng.
If I new how, I would create it, maybe I should try.
Customer contracts is only one aspect of post PIA QF engineering.
I would be happy to get feedback from any ports, having worked in a few, on any subject, as I still have an interest in my old job.
Here's hoping QF Eng will get back on track in 2009?
Cheers !

No probs.

Maybe this thread will be rebirthed as EBA9. It seems pretty obvious to all that EBA8 was not only about 3%, and bearing this in mind, EBA9 will probably run along very similar lines, if not maybe worse. At the end of the day what has changed? Just a few faces in management...........

Amwu 6%

I saw a small article in the Financial Review which said the AMEs got 6% wage increase.
Did they go thru as much drama as the ALAEA?
Cheers

AMWU details

G'day Domo
I am pleased to hear you guys got a good, quick, painless deal.
That's why I originally posted, I would like to know the details, AFR had no detail at all.
Just wondering why ALAEA PIA was so long and protracted and AMWU deal went thru quickly?
Brgds to all.

Because Dixon & Co wanted to beat the LAMEs at any cost (hundreds of million of dollars in fact) but with only a few 4 hour
stop work meetings and no overtime all management got was years of backlog work which will be a burden to Qantas for many years to come.

The outcome was that LAMEs proved their worth, diligence and highlighted the incompetence of the managers running the place.

Win - win for LAMEs

Loose - loose for management.

Not sure, but rumors are circulating that there has been another case of a different person falsely signing as a LAME.

Ngineer is right. Looks like there is another pretender out there.

G'day ngineer,
Not sure if you saw it but there was a post calling you a rumour monger last time I looked.

Said poster must have been embarrassed by shooting from the hip too quickly.

managers doing the licence checks again.

The legacy of the PIA is still being felt at the top. Lots of heads have rolled and more to come.
Just goes to show what a bit of unity can achieve.

The buggery seems to continue, like Thai has finally had a gut full.
Word on the street they were pushed away by doubling their bill.
Our best customers just chucked on the scrap heap. Why?

With any luck the contracts manager is next to go.
He's done more harm to qf line maint than any other.

Same old same old. Customer contract prices being doubled. All rethinking. RH up to his old tricks in base, let the guys sort it all out and gently push them towards his way of thinking. A380 numbers not enought. SIT guys being watched closely for a big cut and shuffle.

Yeah, lots of fun. Things just keep getting better and better.
