Does anyone here know if Air New Zealand or Qantas or Virgin Australia are looking at staff bonuses to help secure their staff numbers?
Just asking because I’d like a JetSki.

You high?
AJ will never give a 6 month bonus, because they only thing he’s ever been invested in since starting at Qantas is lining his own pockets.
Step 1 - cancel hundreds of new aircraft orders to maximise short term profit
Step 2 - shut down and cost the airline hundreds of millions as an industrial bullying tactic
Step 3 - forget about your core business of flying people safely from A to B and instead use your airline to push political agendas
Step 4 - surround yourself with people who tell you you’re doing a great job, remove anyone who doesn’t
Step 5 - sack ground handlers illegally
Step 6 - attempt to replace your Australian pilots with cheap foreign labor, turn your once safe airline into a series of outsourced and cheap contractors
Step 7 - hire a new CEO internally who won’t come in and criticise what you’ve done
Step 8 - walk out the door just before a monumental CAPEX with horrifically bad fleet age metrics
Step 9 - also walk out the door at the height of the share price with a record profit (which is none of your doing, but simply post-COVID demand related) so all your personal bonuses when you leave are maximised
Step 10 - pocket circa $180m after running the country’s biggest, safest and strongest airline and its staff into the ground to be left a shell of what it once was
So tell me, Qanda, is this the sort of person you think is going to give 6 month staff bonuses even if those same staff went unpaid for two years?
Remember how he came out and trumpeted he was forgoing his bonuses and pay during COVID. Look more carefully at what he actually did, essentially just deferred them all to make it LOOK like he wasn’t raping and pillaging while his staff lost their houses and families.
The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour. As an outsider looking in, I don’t understand why you’d even imagine for a second, that this little excuse for a human would be giving out a six month bonus to anyone other than himself.
One day, the piss-weak board members will front an enquiry over why they let this happen.
Meanwhile, maybe stop smoking whatever you’re on.
