Mr Joyce spent over 15 years in leadership positions for Qantas, Ansett and Aer Lingus
*Aer Lingus founded in the 1930's is 29.4% owned by its rival, Ryanair, and 25.4% owned by the Government of Ireland. History of sustained loss making. Failed takeover bid in 2008 by Ryanair
*Ansett - hardly a recommendation for sound management. (Failed) takeover bid by Air New Zealand which ended in collapse
*Qantas Founded in the 1920's, previously owned by Government, commenced a steady descent into loss making with AJ's leadership. Failed takeover bin in 2007

Alarm Bells anybody? Not the history I want for a Qantas' CEO. Smells foul then assume it is foul

Please stand up at the next AGM and let the shareholders know. The #1 place you will be heard is the shareholders.... shareholders have invested in the company because they believe in it (just like employees have invested their futures in QAN). The only people that care are shareholders and employees. The management/board are merely here for the ride.
