PILOTS will appeal directly to Qantas shareholders to vote down the airline's remuneration report and also vote against the re-election of four directors.
In a new campaign to start today, the Australian and International Pilots Association will
launch a website, qantasshareholders.com, which will tell shareholders how to assign a proxy and vote against key motions at the October 28 annual meeting.

The association's vice-president, Richard Woodward, said the union had received support from the public and disgruntled shareholders and now wanted to harness this.
''We are genuinely trying to get the remuneration package overturned,'' he said. ''Our pilots are incredibly concerned about the fact they've been blamed for the downturn at Qantas while at the same time Alan Joyce and his team have rewarded themselves with outrageous pay rises.''
A step in the right direction.
