Geoff Dixon, you are the best CEO in Australia. The aviation world is changing and you have the courage to make the hard decisions BEFORE the red ink starts flowing. As for your $6m pay packet, I consider it just reward to operate a 24/7/365 business that turns over in excess of $12 bn per year and employs almost 40000. Some sort of responsibility that.
there are lot of just as good CEO's running Bigger companies, with twice or more staff than QF, and they earn far less than Dicko!
from an ex insiders point of view, QF seam to be sacrificing the medium term future for short term gain! i was offered(forced) a redundancy, and now on a regular basis, they are ringing me back asking if i would like to return!
there is no way im taking a $30K pay CUT to go back to that nuthouse on shift work.
sure, QF are doing well, but we all know what happens to a company in the longer term with a vast majority of very unhappy employees!
