As stated above, many times, people have swollowed his BS for a long time. He's basically not acted in the airlines' best interests since being there. Many examples include; trying to finish off Dixon's work, timely fleet renewal, outsourcing everything and culling experienced staff, giving away routes, stifling employees' pays for his own gain and creating a toxic work environment, etc, etc.
Governments won't act, as it's a good earner potentially in an a executive /board role after politics, lounge is comfortable and the donations are nice.
Corporation leaders keep quiet, for obvious reasons.
People on the street buy this rubbish, which is spread by the
PR machine, 'that all is well' and 'Airline staff are rich and don't deserve a pay rise.'
To top it off, not many employees will action/support meaningful Industrial Action to any of the above issues; including wage stagnation and a CEO taking ridiculous Pay Packets. Ridiculous Pay Packets will continue for some, as Unions are bad now, as seen in the right controlled media (wonder why wage growth is bad too now?), and/or can't be bothered and/or, it's not my problem, and/or any other lam ass excuse.
Cry on here, as it will continue, until some decide to take the Power back.
