So the Board members were briefed on the current industrial situation - presumably by the same executives who came up with outlandish figures of 26% pay rise and who simply don't understand the job security issues.
If the Board were to also be briefed by AIPA, ALAEA, etc, they would then have a more balanced understanding of the issues and thus would be able to make better decisions to take Qantas forward. Not going to happen though - especially with Leigh Clifford in the chair.
