Claims such as those being made by wingers and lame380 are the same as those made by some company pilot tools in the dispute of the year not to be mentioned. All designed to create media interest in how the big bad union stooges were trampling on the little innocent guys. It was all cr@p then, and I'm sure it is the same tactic being used now. I wish we had prune 19 years ago to get the word around.
Prune members that make these outrageous claims and threats here should be binned to protect the thread. Just my opinion.
Good luck to the Ginger Beers, we need you and QF needs you.

Hear me roar

First they came for the Flight Attendants and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Flight Attendant, Then they came for the LAMEs, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Lame. Then they came for the Pilots, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Pilot. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
With apologies and thanks to Martin Niemoeller. http://www.hoboes.com/html/FireBlade/Politics/niemoller.shtml
I am a LAME and I intend to stand up and be heard.
I am LAME hear me roar.
This time apologies and thanks to Helen Reddy.
Do not waver; there are plenty who want to support us.
LAMEA380, johnnyv, wingers, lord of the wangs, et al, try not to be around when there is not a soul left to speak up for you, as you will be discarded like last weeks trash. Read up on the boss of freight in the USA.

Go away A380 and Wingers!

Winger's, your hypocracy shall be evident to you when you awaken tomorrow, sober, and survey the damage. I take offence to your threats and propositions, I note A380's unbridalled support, and I sincerely look forward to both of your unconstructive PPRuNe memberships being revoked.

P.S. Took a while for you to get around to deleting the defamatory brain implosion. Not before copies were taken and forwarded to the relevent individuals for their consideration.

I am temporarily locking this thread until the temperature cools!!

A few need to sober up and take a cold shower.

I'll think about re-opening tomorrow.

I've reopened this thread but to those who can not conduct them selves in an acceptable manner, don't expect your access to this thread will last very long!!!

In these trying times it would probably be wise for you to get your facts straight before slagging off one of the brothers (JS) who's only crime was to assist the engineers from being bombarded with management procedures, thus making our working life a little more pleasant. If you think this guy is a scab or a scab trainer, think again.

Lets stick to the real issues.
In defence of this guy, I was told he actually declined to train the scabs and M blew his stack but he stuck to his guns. Surprising but apparently true.

Well done Tailwheel.

I suggest that posters do a simple check on what others are writing and when they joined PPrune, as it makes it pretty clear which ones are trolls......


...and of course don't respond to the trolls with anything other than facts, otherwise you risk giving journalists something sensational to write about.

I think there could be some forces on the LAME's side. Heavy fog in Sydney this morning. Many flights diverted/delayed. Who could ever of imagined.

Fog in Sydney?
What a perfect start.

Feel sorry for the pax but the argument for the value of our worth has got off to the perfect start.

Where are meetings? info

from what blackhander asked, FED SEC.
If our stopwork officially starts at 1400 then is it correct to say that we are NOT to leave work till 1400, so therefore actual meeting should not get underway till 1420 or so to allow all to get to venue.
FED SEC can you clarify please?

Flight Delays

Today has been and will continue to be an operational nightmare in sydney due to thick fog. To view the arrival and dispatch performance, go to the qantas website and view flight info for your port. The roll on delays will unfortunately be immense. Average delay is 4 hours across the board. Is this a message from above?

ABC Radio news announced at 1pm that the "proposed industrial action by Qantas engineers tomorrow had been postponed with ACTU backing".

Can anybody confirm?
