Joyce is the patsy, he was always meant to be. Standard practice when you want to restructure something like QANTAS.
Bring him in, get to a particular point where every one will do anything to save it, give him the boot, appoint a new one and mold the company how they want it to be.
Joyce will keep a low profile for a while and then get appointed as CEO to another cushy spot proving he's a executive team player and prepared to take it one for the team.
You are all just falling into their hands.
