A 330
For those interested management are in big trouble, the following has been reported re A330 in Singapore.
Tail pipe fire on start
Inexperienced engineer on headset called fire, fire, fire.
Crew immediately shut engine down but were given no instruction from ground to motor engine to put out fire.
Engine u/s with no spares available.
A large number of composite panels on strut burnt.
Leading edge panels burnt.
Trailing edge flap burnt, split and delaminated.
Singapore response team to aircraft, oh well.

well reported on. i think this may well be a great catalyst for them realising whats going on. think that aircraft will definetely be staying there for a while, especially with singapores limited a330 spares tooling etc. no spare engines, well i suppose they were in charge of engine maintenance a while ago too, coming back to bite them maybe.

Just another example of MH's desire to rid out stations of good QF personnel. Great work MH. Way to fcuk a good company. I nominate MH for an excel award - the guy is a champion

Just to touch on the 8 Hour talk from a page back.
When they brought it in in Perth, they needed 10 more guys to make it work.
If they brought it in country wide (with OT bans on) , mate, the chaos would be fantastic.
Maybe it should be us that demand 8 hours across the nation while the OT bans are on.
Any roster guru can tell you, the 8 hour is less efficient that the rosters we are on BUT if you need more proof just think… If the 8 hour roster WAS more efficient than the rosters we are on, wouldn’t MH and Co have implemented it years ago.

Ian,
No one is going to singapore, no one is going to do overtime, no one is feeling compassionate towards the company! Very soon we will step up the action a peg.
I know you have friends in high places but you need to realise the outcomes of your allegiances. You also have a job to do and you need to advise accordingly. There will be no winners unless this comes to an end quickly. You surely realise this.
It's time for it to end now before it gets out of control, the damage sustained will not be recoverable in the foreseeable future.
Tell Geoff it's over and negotiate a outcome.
I am sure you read these comments and I hope you take note of these words.

THANK YOU ALAEA TEAM FOR YOUR WISE AND PROFESSIONAL HANDLING OF OUR CURRENT SITUATION.
I used to think I was reliant on OT. Now I am enjoying the extra time with my family. All those extra hours I used to work now I've been shown the light. Can't wait till its over and QF try to recoup lost money. I guess they'll take their usual easy prey first "redundancy for non union members"
BYE BYE LOSERS.
Mr Dixon I don't know what crap our managers feed you but your airline is in trouble.15 years ago they stopped training and learn't what a mistake that was. MH has done the same stupid thing. NOW IT IS GOING TO BITE YOU !
Sure your lame managers who havn't touched tools for decades can probably carry out a transit check sure hope they don't stuff up or you could be joining that exec. you've left in the cold in prison. Better start lubin up
. Happy retirement failure ! Give us some of that fortune we have helped create. If you don't hurry up we won't be the only union in industrial dispute. Oh dear and the 380 is coming soon this is going to be embarassing for you.

Thanks for the SYD update Dr Skydrol. It’s hard for us out-of-towners to know what’s going on.
So….does anyone know exactly how much it costs to have a jumbo sit on the ground doing nothing ?
