He won't be bullied by these thugs
No, he'll bully them. Since he became CEO, bullying of staff by management has become firmly entrenched in all areas of the company.
Dixon is Qantas. Joyce is Jetstar.
Sorry Fed Sec, I normally agree with you but this time, I believe that you are wrong. We are wearing the consequences of his poor decisions now - he is no saviour of the Qantas brand.
When James Strong was CEO, he said that his period was a "consolidation" phase (post Fed government ownership) and that his successor would manage the "expansion" phase. Unfortunately, Dixon didn't stick with the plan and kept consolidating during the boom years when every airline was making massive profits while Qantas didn't have enough capacity (in both the number of aircraft or even the right type of aircraft. The reason for the further consolidation became apparent when the APA bid surfaced and it was revealed that personal greed was his driving force.
Dixon is not the saviour that Qantas desperately needs!
