"Or tell me it's different!"

In actual fact, Gnadenburg, perhaps you put the cart before the horse asking that question, as in your previous post you opened with, "But Brett Godfrey...used (his) expertise to create something wondeful for aviation.".
Quite so! It was Brett Godfrey`s OWN business plan that was used to CREATE & GROW VB from nothing.

The VB staff have seen some IMprovements over time.
OTOH, Herr Dixon`s strategy would appear to be one of (as stated by Foreign Worker) "abus(ing) their positions to promote their own cause, at the expense of the majority.", ie. degrading the incomes of the workers at the coalface with the one hand, whilst scooping the money saved and pocketing it himself, with the other.

Let`s face it, with the resources behind QANTAS - financial and personnel - just how hard is Dixon`s job?
I`m sure that there is another Dixon - initial 'M' - who could just have successfully started an "Australian Airlines" of his own, given access to the same resources.

However, it is the sheer hypocrisy of Herr G. Dixon, who willingly accepts an INcrease to his already extremely high salary, but demands a DEcrease of many who are earning less than 5% of his.
