Did you all notice that bit at the bottom?
After Jetstar fired Joe, they in very poor form fired off an email to all staff about how they sacked someone for speaking to the media......Clearly we all know the article concerned.
How sad it is a company can threaten and intimidate on freedom of speach, especially when it was the truth and a balanced well written article.
I hope Joe wrote this one because he can not be sacked twice, so if not whoever you are cover your ar$e.
