Not much Police, Ambulance or Fire rescue teams can do without the lift operators being there... Especially if there's no immediate endangerment... |

For every dollar the price of fuel increase, it wipes approx 35 million dollars from Qantas' bottom line...

Lawyer sues airline for ruining family vacation
A New York lawyer is suing Delta Air Lines for $US1 million, saying his family vacation turned into a nightmare after they were stranded in an airport for days and treated disdainfully by airline employees. Richard Roth, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of himself and his mother, said he planned the Christmas 2007 trip to Buenos Aires to celebrate his mother's 80th birthday. She had grown up in the city, but had not returned in years, he said. Instead, Mr Roth, his two teenage children, his wife and mother spent three days in airports, went days without their luggage, were treated rudely by airline employees and were forced to spend $US21,000 on unused hotel rooms in Argentina, replacement clothes, and other costs. "Through its gross negligence, malfeasance and absolute incompetence, Mr Roth holds Delta responsible for ruining his vacation," the lawsuit said, filed in New York state court. Delta Air Lines had no immediate comment.

And what is the typical LAME at Qantas already on? I understand that there are different LAMEs specialising in different areas (avionics, structural etc), therefore probably quite a wide spread pay scale. |

CPI adjusted is my guess...if they can afford $100,000 for however many engineers they plan on hiring for 6 months then surely they can afford a 2% pay increase for their current engineers?

That sounds more like you're saying a reasonable 'increase', not wage.
I thought they were going for a 5% increase? |

the current negotiations are stalled at 3% & engineers want 2% on top of that...

Last I heard that the engineers were happy for 3% but wanted some other conditions to make up the other 2% however Mr Dixon in all his wisdom said no. The LAME is Avionics and Mechanical split like this
Mechanical: Airframe and/or Engines Avionics: Radio and/or Electrical and/or Instrument Then on top of that you have the different pay levels from Level 1 to level 12 I think off memory, as well as Leading hand and Supervisor extra's. I can see what will happen is that Mr Dixon will say yes we will meet with you on monday if you call off the strike to save his bacon and still get no where. I am looking forward to the delays on Tuesday and Wednesday.....NOT. |
