Joyce's Emotional Disconnect
Joyce has no emotional connection to Australia nor does he have any emotional connection to Qantas.
He is therefore the perfect scapegoat in all this.Leigh Clifford's scapegoat.
An Australian would have had seconds thoughts about pulling a stunt like this.
'89 is till vivid in most aviation memories.
This had been planned for at least two months with room nights being purchased in early September and CC managers despatched to LHR Singapore and LAX on Thursday.
Joyce has totally misread and misunderstood the Australian psyche and Australian history.He has done more damage to the Qantas Brand than any trade union could ever do.
This whole episode has been designed to use FWA to force the workforce into submission by denying them further PIA and force the Australian Government to amend the Qantas Sale Act
A ballsy but stupid bluff that will end his career in this country.
But the problem will remain with Qantas whilever Clifford is the Chairman.
This man is a smug dysfunctional elitist who makes Dixon look like a Choir boy.
When Joyce goes out the front door Clifford should follow
