On time departures
Information from www.flightstats.com
May 31 - 66%
June 01 66%
So far June 2 66%
From Qantas.com:
Qf11 Due Sunday 01 June 13:20. Departed Monday 02 June 11:46 - 20 hours 26 minutes LATE
QF01 Due Sunday 01 June 17:00. Departed Monday 02 June 10:37 - 17 Hours 37 minutes LATE
and guess what DC.....both were NOT due to slow work but due to crap aeroplanes which have had very poor heavy maintenance inspections which failed to find basic yet long-fix defects!!!!!
.....and so the snowball grows bigger........
looks like the shutting down of H245 is really starting to pay dividends,imagine where the rest of QF engineering will be in 2 yrs time ...

If you're gonna troll and try and get a response at least make it look like you know what you're talking about.
Name calling and bullsh1t doesn't cut it here mate, try and stir up trouble where it seems you will fit in.
pre-school would seem most appropriate.

sickofqf...
Mate luv it. I would vote for that.
These idiots listed above and don't forget the other pathetic wanna be nabobs NG and TG forget that after this is over, (when ever that may be)management will have to work and communicate with us to achieve any kind of goals or changes they wish to implement.
They have all shown their cards on how they feel about our worth and respect for our abilities to do our job. I for one cannot see how I will ever look any of these people in the face without thinking how much distaste and lack of respect I have for them.
Even now that belt stretching buffoon KM whom has a willing group of A380 guys is doing his level best to disengage his team by telling them
"he owns their ass" etc and that he can do what he likes with them
This guy was once respected for his ability to communicate with the guys but now he is one of the worst a pure M clone..
If any of these guys want to achieve anything further in their professional career I suggest they look in Seek.com because they will never have my support or respect again.
To the DMs and future OMs whom have already scabbed on us. Same goes double for you characters.
Fear and Loathing. I have no fear for my future or of my managers but my loathing goes beyond measure
For the the benifit of chanel1234 for mine its not all about the money
[B]"At the conclusion of this EBA, we, the engineers of QE, refuse to co-operate with the following managers and demand their immediate removal from their positions.
DC
MH
KM
DH"
How's that sound ?
hell, I'd take 4% if that happened!!

Life sentence as a lame wrote
QF aircraft are supporting LAME's
It is almost as if the aircraft are on the LAME's side.
I have never seen so many show stopping defects appear in such a short time. Sure there are overtime bans but 9 times out of 10 no amount of manpower can prevent a last minute defect from delaying a service.
I totally agree mate but its called KARMA.
I've heard through the grapevine that we have a 744 stuck in Sin. with two u/s t/rs anybody heard anything about it.

I heard that too....carried one in and broke the other on landing.....boys up there played around, pulled 'em apart then went home.......
Well done chaps
As for the latest troll, ignore him, he isn't even close to being a Pom......who ever head a pom use the term slackers....sorry slakers...his spelling also is quite awful.
Slackers is as Aussie as drizabones and so is that troll.
In case you haven't noticed, LAMEA380 is AWOL................
In any case, he's reported and will have to come up with another IP and nic!!

hi all, noticed a post re supposed go slow tactics where an engineer said that he is not going slow, that he is not taking rest breaks or even loo breaks. as cabin crew this concerns me as poor decisions are made when people are hungry or working with their legs their legs crossed. so please, please ,please take your break when it is due and if you have to stop in the middle of something that will delay a departure so be it.

Please forgive me for straying off topic but I am genuinely interested as to how many correspondents on this D & G forum actually know the real meaning or origin of the ever popular expression of troll? Nowhere else but only on QF LAME related postings does the troll appear but in most cases it is a non-sequitur.

Do not feed the trolls

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
In which cases specifically in these forums do you believe it has been misused?

As I look into my chrystal ball and predict what will happen after an outcome, I see Qantas offering as much overtime as you bare to catch up on a huge backlog of work. I would think it will take several months to catch up. Some may say great and see plenty of $$$$, but with the current cancellation of leave, when will you be able to take annual leave once the dispute is over? I am sure they can reject annual leave on the basis of operational requirements, but not sure whether they can knock back Long Service Leave, DIL's, 20th days etc etc. Can anybody clarify?

Mein lieber Herr Flugbegleiter, just because someone has an opinion on a subject different to yours, does not imply "baiting" or to disrupt the thread in question. It simply means an expression of a different view and he shouldn't be regarded as a lowlife knave and kicked out the door( which reputably happens to be the original interpretation of "troll" in Sweden, I belive). However, I thank you for partially quoting the meaning of troll, which may result in less use of this useless term.

Update on EGR, news out of Brisbane is that the guy's are not current and will not be doing EGR's tonight. I hope the members in all other ports show the resolve of these men and comply for safety sake. Congrats guy's. No doubt some heated telephone conversations are underway as I type.

May I suggest that any engineer who experiences pressure from any manager or supervisor to carry out any task by not following the PPM & AMM to the letter contact the ALAEA immediately and also complete cross reports stating whom is applying this pressure and why.

A Saviour has arrived for DC and MH, his name is chanel1234. This guy is the fastest worker on earth. If he can't resolve the dispute himself, he will definitely be able to do all the maintenance work himself.
Last Thursday, when in England, he was offered a job in Australia
By Friday he had decided to migrate (with a few of his mates)
Now it's Monday and he's here, arrived in Syd, has taken stock and decided to join DC's team
When you're next chatting to Murray, chanel1234, say hello to LAMEA380, sobast, oh yes, and Ashley as well!
Last Thursday, when in England, he was offered a job in Australia
the job i was offered was not as a scab , am considering it,
You Aussies don’t muck around, will be migrating down under with a couple of lads
i thought i was coming here to support a union of underpaide workers
keep on strykin, unbelievable, we will be filling your jobs what tossers
