While this topic regularly gets done to death, it's worth pointing out that there's the following footnote to a table on page 59 of the latest Qantas Annual Report:
"During the year Mr Joyce received a milestone reward payment relating to the establishment of Jetstar Airways of $100,000."
Not bad for what's supposed to be a Low Cost Carrier eh - low cost and pay for all but those at the top?
How much would have been paid had J* been a genuine start up instead of a spin-off operation with inherited infrastructure etc. from Impulse/QantasLink and most of its netwerk hived off from Qantas and QantasLink?
How much did other people involved with the so-called establishment of J* receive as a similar reward?
This is just the news to keep the troops happy and contented. I think not. In the meantime, the snorting from the Q trough at Mascot and elsewhere continues.
