Domestic Airlines Question

When you consider that dipstick Alan Joyce took home over $2m last year, there’s obviously room for manoeuvre...

 

Warren Buffett Should Have Listened to Himself on Airlines (nymag.com)

 

There is always room to manoeuvre executive wages

 

His base pay was more than $2m but was also gifted nearly 700,000 shares as well, which is another $4.5-5m on top.

And yes. He’s a ****wit.

 

While I'm not a fan of Joyce , having met him, when he was at a resort we stayed at on a freebie

I don't envy his position as CEO and think he earns his 2 million dollars plus salary and 4 million dollar share bonus..

My main criticism would be why send the maintenance of the aircraft off to Chinah? I wouldn't even let them wash my car let alone service it

I was once told by an old retired QANTAS pilot, the best people to run an airline are NONE aircraft people ...............NO emotion for the aircraft!

 

Did you get my email?

 

Yep. All good, cheers.

I’m at work planning a flight to that haven of peace and tranquility, Alice Springs…

 

Are you doing a beer run ?

 

Can’t stand him due to his woke BS. Amongst other things.

 

VB supplies ?

 

And seeing if anyone needs a VE Commodore for a bloke I know whom definitely isn’t a car dealer.

 

See if you can meet up with Al Campbell on here.

 

I have met Joyce the once just after he became CEO. I was at a mates send off and talking a couple of pilots (1 Qantas and 1 BA). At the time Qantas was in dispute with their engineers over quality of maintenance and where it was being done (Singapore I think). I was relaying the thoughts of another mate (Qantas engineer) saying 'if they treated the engineers a bit better..' when this little man who gravitated into the circle went off, didn't know Joyce from Adam, but he got very fiesty in defence of the company against unruly unionist ba@tards.

 

Did you hit him John?

 

Nah, just ignored him and got another scotch. Mind you the Qantas guy could have given me a heads up.
