Heartless Dixon
Should i mention the word Karma? Or maybee his heart just couldnt take all the stress of trying to spend that extra 27% pay rise he got this year!! Lucky the sale to APA didnt go through. What was that bonus for selling the airline below cost ?? 60 or 70 million?? That may have made his heart stop completely. Thats right he was going to donate it to charity. YEAH RIGHT , the dixon retirement fund!!!

My, my, my - nasty bunch of pricks, aren't you all!!
The thing that amuses me - GD is 69, making HUGE and I mean HUGE amounts of bonus $$$ by ripping apart the T&C's of the people who actually make QF work day in, day out.
I reckon it will be his beneficiaries who will get to enjoy spending all that dosh he's accumulated - not Mr GD Esq.
As I get older the concept of Karma becomes more of an honest reality.

....................look GD is most likely everything that has been said about him in here (inc what i've said b4) but remember this guy is a CEO & his job is to make the Co. (QF) perform the best way possible for the share holders. It's also his job to do it with as little outlay as possible, & that means being ruthless where it has the most impact & that's the workers sadly. Why you might ask?.........well the human side of any buisness is the most 'moldable', the most flexible & one of the most costly parts of the bottom line whether we like it or not & hence we have a lot of disharmony. If anyone of us where to take the helm the Co. ( just theoretically) we wouldn't last 5 mins, oh there would be a huge amount of happy workers that's for sure & in their eyes you would be a hero, 'till they realised that the Co. wasn't making enough money & the shareholders where selling their shares like wild fire & you where staring at the face of a business about to fold !
This is not in any way sticking up for the guy b4 half of you lot out there see red he could have it both ways but like someone else said in here his benificiaries will win, not GD himself, that he needs to contemplate & quickly.
All the best for the new year GD, yr going to need it that's for sure !

Smarter Way
Wally,i agree that the CEO of any company has a job to do and that includes cutting costs.Its not smart to save money with professional staff that require a lot of training like engineers and pilots and it gets to a point where you screw the staff too much and they will get fed up and revolt.Now we have heard all the management speal about how tough the industry is and how much fuel costs.But massive profit speaks for itself.You need to get your staff onside and they will help you earn more and save more.All we want is a little increase we are not asking for half the national debt!This management is going the other way staff moral is at an all time low.It will take a lot of time to fix that and that low moral is very very expensive for the company.

If it was my choice I would have sent him to Dr Patel now back home in Mumbai hospital.It would have solved two problems.

.........."BLF Goon" (Builders & Labourers Federation?) Yr correct QF has huge profits & that came at a great sacrifice, the staff & it's moral.It's unlikely they will share it with the drones!
CEO's know it's not 'smart' to save money by cutting costs with skilled staff but they (as in the upper management ) have little choice if they want to show 'performance' (& that's what it's all about as far as they are concerned) other than to reduce overheads.
One has to wonder whether all the gripes here of which there justified ever gets to the top & taken note of. Like I've said in others posts major Co's won't let the core buisness be run by the 'shop floor', as in it's base workers. It's simply them & us, that's the way it is these days of dog eat dog in the cold hard world of commercial buisness of which aviation is just another book with a bottom line !.
The likes of QF know only too well that another major strike like WW3 (the pilots dispute) would be very unlikely, we, as in everyone learnt many lessons from that & that is a strong 'stick' for this sad Co.(QF) to hold over it's employees.
"BLF Goon" yr heading on the subject says it all.........."smarter way"...........there in lies the challenge so no one gets hurt.
Always personal opinions here only
