Things in 2019 are a lot different to 2011. The majority of the public are fed up with the level of corporate greed that currently exists amoungst big corporations. You only have to read the disgust on social media at AJ's $24 million pay packet. It would also be hard to sell an ongoing capped 3% Qantas wage policy to FWA sighting unsustainability in the face of a $1.6 billion profit last year. The RBA sees big corporations and current excessive executive bonus' as one of the reasons the wage gap is increasing in this country. Our RBA governor himself has made mention that current CEO salaries 'disturbs him'. As I said, different times to 2011. Dont know if Qantas would walk away a winner if FWA were to step in today.
