There are a number of things I learnt early in my career.
One is that you can never trust the c.... in management to do anything except look after themselves at your expense.
Another is that management sucks are the next worst quality of human beings.
Yet another is that pilots who seek to be managers are a dangerous breed. An article in an American flying magazine a few years ago said something like 'any pilot who puts on a suit every day and heads to the office has no business around aeroplanes'.
Ain't that true!
Shocka, I agree.
QF were handed 35 - 40% market share, but their profit increased by only about 10%, so the execs get huge bonuses - for what??
In real terms, it was a decrease in profit, not an increase.
