Vote Of No Confidence...?
If GD has such disregard for his employees and the quotes attributed to him are true and correct, then perhaps the employees of the Qantas Group should sign a "notice of no confidence" in him as their CEO.
Perhaps it could include the senior management and those Board members who were involved in the APA debacle.
Role on.....

Of course, I can't help but worry it might be a case of Frying-pan to Fire. Who's going to replace him?

I'm not so sure the lil fella will get it.
Had an interesting conversation with someone from a lofty position who indicated that the one requiring the booster seat is on the outside...
I was given distinct impression he is well led by Dixon, playing the role he was given at J*, however he is well out of his depth in something the size of Qantas.
Having re-read what I just typed, Dixon is way out of his depth, so perhaps the gnome is perfectly suited to the totally disfunctional Qantas machine..

You just don't get it do you.
We, the body & soul of QANTAS, are not ready to see our company die at the hands of greedy managers only here for 5 years or so. We have made this company the successful, safe airline it is for 80 years. We will fight to keep what we have strived & toiled to build and not See it destroyed by short sighted, bonus driven management, who will drop the ball and run away when they have stripped the assets or things get tough.
QANTAS has been built to a world leading FAMILY COMPANY only to be dragged down by a few hyena management teams who will feed on the fat until it is gone and move on.
We, the people, the backbone, the workers of QANTAS are here to see it survive and continue its legacy for eons to come. We want to see the next generation prosper from our hard work not a fleeting hit and grab MOB of suits and media giants in for the short term self gratification Adrenalin hit, a new Aston Martin & Mansion in Mosman.
This is QANTAS the AUSTRALIAN company. We will not see it move off-shore nor will the Australian Government.
You are either with us, AUSTRALIA, or against US, what is it ?????

Qantas, a Family Company?
Since when has Qantas become a "family company"? A great company with an enviable safety record it's true, but a family company, come on. BTW, would be interested to know the DOB of Short Circuit.

I agree. I am a QF driver and from a very early age I strove to achieve my dream job of QF pilot. I love the job and 99% of the people I work with both in the cockpit and cabin, and on the ground are fantastic people.
I go out of my way to go the extra mile, especially when in the terminal with passengers. But more and more I have t hang my head in shame at the sad state of staff morale and a shoddy product.
I am proud of what Qantas used to be. Not what it is. I , like the majority of Qantas staff would love to get rid of this money hungry , grubby management and try to rebuild Qantas into a great airline again.
I don't want to work for anyone else, and I want my airline to be the pride of Australia again.
Like many have said, the short term managers have no loyalty to the company and certainly dont give a crap about the staff.
I wish I knew how to change the tide as it is a crying shame.

And sure, it is not a "family run business", but QF staff have always felt like family in the past. That is not the case, now, and that is very sad.
Vote of no confidence in this greedy management! With the APA debacle, maybe this wouldn't be so difficult to achieve... Anyone?

Then something happened in the last 3 years which made two or three guys do it, followed by a handfull, followed by several handfulls. It doesn't sound much, but re-read para 1 above. Yet another mainline Captain - a top guy, and pretty young too - left just some days ago, but it hardly even rates a mention now.
My financial dependance on earning QF bikkies ends in about 2 years (with a big margin of comfort I might add), at which time I'm seriously considering leaving if a new relationship is not forged between the management and the employees. That's 20 years before retirement.
Of course, if you listened to the Chief Pilot's interview on TV, "no pilots are leaving", which was quite a gregarious and astonishing lie (and he's fully aware of it).

If you don't like what you have then walk away.....don't think of fixing the problem or trying to improve your situation.
Just treat your job like a disposable entity..... Funnily,that is exactly just what Darth would like...
I do agree with drdexter1975 on one thing though and that someone should certainly go somewhere else however I believe it should be someone at the top....

leaving is unheard of!
Dutch Roll,
I can not agree more. We in Sydney engineering have in the recent months had over 20 people resign, some leaving without finding a job to go to and 95% leaving the industry altogether.This, from recent memory has never happened.
I like most people on here do enjoy what I do and have wanted to do this since I was a kid, HOWEVER!!!......the state the company is in now is absolutly deplorable. Walking through that gate now you can feel the tention,misery and negativity in the air, you can cut it with a knife.
I want everyone one to realise this is not just a fight with engineering, this is a fight against every employee who gives a crap about what they do and how they go about it. I could not care less if you are a cleaner, pilot, engineer or paperwork muppet.....THIS AFFECTS US ALL!!!
Its about time we all came together again, no more conquer and divide.........Unity is the key and this is the time for it!!!!!

Dickooooooo
Dicko was a member of an organisation run by his close friend Turbo T, who was under the instruction of Listhpy Lipths, who also was jerking the Bedroom Bandicoot's chain.
When he (Dicko) said last week when the stupid quaintarse drivers claimed solidarity with the LAME's - "what else would you expect them to say", he was merely demonstrating his contempt for anyone other than those who occupy the Quaintarse boardroom.
Quaintarse sure isn't the airline Fysh and McGuiness founded.
