Ha-ha. Good One!
Poor BB, working for a budget airline only gives him a salary of 1.1 million with his 43% pay rise, for cutting his staffs pay and conditions and employing foreign pilots, by off-shoring j*.
Has a bit of catching up to do to Q ceos salary.

However they will have to go into bankruptcy protection if they want a real ceos salary.

Employing foreign pilots will increase his bonus if he reduces costs.
I very much doubt any other considerations such as employment for Aussie pilots or safety issues come in to the equation.
He will hope if here are any problems he will be gone by then and it will be someone else’s responsibility.
It amazes me when the Captain and Crew
literally have the responibility for the lives of 300-400 passengers and crew each flight, and the ceo has a responsibility to pay a dividend to the shareholders, yet the ceos and executives salaries show what is considered more important by the shareholders and airline owners.
The annual shareholders dividend is worth 10 to 100 times more, than the 60,000+ passengers lives the pilots may carry each year.
That puts it in perspective for me.
