Overpaid Ceos

HIH and Enron are just two companies that spring to mind when discussing CEOs being both overpaid and incompetent.Al(chainsaw)Dunlap almost brought Sunbeam to its knees with his costcutting.He has not worked for any company since that little debacle.
QF employs 35,000 staff most of whom are unsmiling and unhappy.
When I was working I had a responsibility to my family to maximise my income.I would never contemplate a wage cut that would impinge on their standard of living.
Dixon has no MBA,no economics degree...he is an ex journalist (like Christopher Skase)who has no visible qualifications to run a company like Qantas.He is where he is because he is someone(s)mate.
No one at QF does their job poorly there is just no"buzz"
This is the difference between Virgin,Emirates and Qantas
