Unfortunately Qantas will shut Avalon. Basic business decision. Aint been utilized then has to go. . What was interesting was what the union official said. This is a specialised job requiring over a 100 different exams to obtain the skills to work on these aircaft all good so far. The next statement reveals why he is a union official and not in business actually providing work. Verbatim the workers he were entitled to think they had a job for life. Nothing is for ever. No guarantees. Qantas is in a very competitive industry. Ultimately Joe public says if there is a job for life. If you do not have what they looking for eg price. Modern aircraft you will go broke. Ansett being still fresh in corporate memories. Never hear about how many small family businesses go under each year. Were they entitled to a job for life.
