You call him arrogant but he is just doing his job.
If your union were making forthright demands, I'm sure you wouldn't be screaming "arrogant" and asking "just who do they think they are?". You would just be saying "that is our union - they are just trying to look after their members".
So, why can't you accept that "that is Dixon - just trying to look after his shareholders".
Has it occurred to any Qantas employees on this thread that what is good for Qantas tends to be good for them?
Similarly, what is "good" for the employee is not necessarily good for Qantas - so will most probably turn out bad for the employee.
