King digs deep at Palm Beach
DISEMBARKED
Qantas's chief risk officer,
Rob Kella, has quietly departed the Flying Roo's Mascot headquarters.
Kella headed for the departure lounge in February to ''pursue other interests'', but was not part of the undisclosed number of managers and support staff Qantas has recently decided to lay off.
Kella, who earned $1.58 million at Qantas last financial year, was among the airline's top-12 executive team. Several years ago he took on the added responsibility for safety during a management reshuffle.
Yesterday Qantas declined to say whether Kella would be replaced.
