Well the CEO can blame it himself. If you give yourself a bonus of 2.000.000$ aus, of course you p*ss on your own people. And thats what you get.
What surprises me is that he doesn't seem to care too much about the airline. Willy Walsh turned it around after lots of struggle but can't recall he gave himself a fat bonus during the fights.
What are the odds he gives back the bonus to start fresh with negotiations with the union?
Problem remains with all CEOs, they milk their own airline/ company before they leave. And that I hate with a passion.
Fire the guy!
