i can't believe that the pilot's union asked for a $40k/year pay rise PLUS lifetime job security!!!
if/when this goes to arbitratrion, the union will lose.
no other industry in australia has lifetime job security!!!
allan joyce may just be doing the right thing, no matter how distateful it seems.

I'm pissed all this is because QantASS wants to put other pilots in the planes while all planes get repairs etc overseas in 3rd world countries where unskilled workers are doing the work & aircrashes have been caused by this system of caring for planes using wrong valves, rivets, lines etc.
It's not about the pilots it's all about profit margines full stop.
So much for safety of passengers.
MY LAST POST ON THIS AS I HATE WHERE THE TREAD IS GOING NEXT IT WILL BE THE POLLIES.

Ambit claims are always the starting point. Negotiations whittle them down until the key points for each party remain. THEN the argy bargy starts.
This is NOT negotiation in good faith under any IR banner. This is a political statement by Joyce. Funny that it wasn't mentioned yesterday when HE gets
$2million pay rise!!!!!!!! Who on this earth is worth that as a salary let alone a RISE in salary??? That type of money would go a long way to fund the pay rises he refuses to consider.
If I was working for ANY employer and had agreed to forgo salary increases to assist that company through a tough period, I would be TOTALLY pissed off if that company not only refused to reparate but also gave a salary increase of that proportion to head honcho.
Joyce's reign speaks for itself: safety record in tatters, Brand discredited well before industrial dispute and employee morale rock bottom. He has already stated that the outsourcing and asian branding of subsidiary is to get around legislation to protect our national carrier when it was privatised. Shareholders beware!
Your interests are not his. Will we see him as a right wing candidate next election. Pushing failing Lib IR platform, perhaps?????
Easy fix: let the share prices fall, Aust gov't buy back as a gov't business enterprise and relaunch as our ONLY national carrier. It worked very nicely, thank you very much, before privatisation. Joyce can then go to Asia and show his Ansett style experience in management there.
What a crock!!!!!

My diet
All my meals are bread and butter plate size
Three main meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner
Only snacks in between alight such as small portions of anything without sugar (example a piece of Celery, carrot and no muesli bars at all – there are high in sugar)
All of my drinks have no sugar or caffeine in them so I drink diet cordial, decaffeinated tea and zero coke (my doctor said zero coke is fine)
I do not recommend eating this way to anyone other than someone in wheelchair, as this diet is for people who do not do much physical exercises as this diet does not provide enough substance

Afternoon all,
Well its a typical Winter's day in Melbourne. The rain has really set in today so the best place is indoors. Temp has dropped a lot since yesterday. The Spring Racing Carnival is on in Melbourne. Yesterday was a better day for the GG's, the horses didn't mind it either
Seriously though this is the time of year when everyone tries to pick up at the races. Lots of tipsy people in the city at the moment. More on Cup day. Got to love a place that has a public holiday for a horse race. Some people make it a week long party. The weather could do anything on the day.
An observation - Women acting like men:
A few weeks ago when the weather was warmer I was walking back to my parked car which was near what is used as a fitness circuit in the Botanical Gardens here in Melbourne. The weather was on the sunny humid side so a number of the men had stripped of their tops and what looked like a team was doing laps around the circuit.
Three women, all friends, were walking a dog along the same track. One of the women started clapping as each topless bloke jogged past. The next words out of her mouth were: "I'm like a kid in a candy store, I could sit here all day with a packet of chips and just watch the show". She said this at the top of her voice with lots of cheering as each guy jogged past the three friends. The other two friends just giggled and tried to pull her away.

Hi kiss me and evening everyone else...
Not such a good day today - no rain and I still need a third of a tank to fill.
Also found a lame lamb. 'Nuff said
As for the boys, they're feeling the comments from yesterday, and the littlest kidlet has kept very much to himself most of the day.
My guy has decided to bring both boys out after dinner by setting up the entire loungeroom as a massive scalextric track! I'll go hide out in the bedroom with my latest book
I'm right in the middle of cooking a roast pork for dinner - everyone else will have the roast veg and gravy or apple sauce, and I will be having steamed spinach with mine.

Well hello there, Mr Elf!
Good to see you back!!!
There is nothing wrong with a lass enjoying eyecandy on a spring day!
Personally, I prefer the jujubes and nanas. But that could change as the weather heats up.....

There are quite a few - some of the V8's, some formula 1's, a cute little cortina with headlights and tail-lights (that's mine, and she flies!), the Le Mans triple set, a couple of road cars and some really old classiccollectibles that are only driven solo to keep them in good order.
I measured the track. Pacing it out, I estimate the total length is about 27 metres total!
Luckily, my loungeroom is double size

I always wanted a"MAN" room for goodies like a slotcar track & all my other speedway goodies.

New Words for 2011
* SWAMP-DONKEY
A deeply unattractive person.
* TESTICULATING.
Waving your arms around and talking bollocks.
* BLAMESTORMING.
Sitting round in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a
project failed, and who was responsible.
* SEAGULL MANAGER...
A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and
then leaves.
* SALMON DAY..
The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get
screwed and die.
* CUBE FARM.
An office filled with cubicles.
* PRAIRIE DOGGING.
When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and
people's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on.

made a BIG mistake (e.g. you've hit 'reply all').
* GREYHOUND.
A very short skirt, only an inch from the hare.
* JOHNNY-NO-STARS.
A young man of substandard intelligence, the typical adolescent who
works in a burger restaurant. The 'no-stars' comes from the badges
displaying stars that staff at fast-food rest au rants often wear to show
their level of training.
* MILLENNIUM DOMES.
The contents of a Wonderbra, i.e. extremely impressive when viewed from
the outside, but there's actually naught in there worth seeing.
* MONKEY BATH .
A bath so hot, that when lowering yourself in, you go: 'Oo! Oo! Oo!
Aa! Aa! Aa!'.
* MYSTERY BUS.
The bus that arrives at the pub on Friday night while you're in the

the pub is suddenly packed with stunners when you come back in.
* TART FUEL.
Bottled premixed spirits, regularly consumed by young women.
* TRAMP STAMP
Tattoo on a female’s lower back
* PICASSO BUM.
A woman whose knickers are too small for her, so she looks like she's

I'm planning a 4 car, 2 story shed.
Bottom level for the driveable cars and workshop, and the mezzanine for the collectables and scalextrics.
Connected to the house by an undercover deck/entertainment area.
