Dont know how many times I have seen a management passenger have a revenue passenger kicked off an aircraft so that they could travel.

Pffftt!!!!!
Man, some people here are just waaaay too precious.
Lets face it, if we all could all be Directors, with all the perks that go with it, WE ALL WOULD. (and it appears Mrs Cross, in this case, only took what she was entitled to. In all liklihood the DM would not have told her of the offloads....).
I recall positioning QF cabin crews taking all of the First class cabin (migrating from one hotel swimming pool to the next....). And did they say 'no thanks' to the French and Eye Fillet and Lobbies?? No, they didnt. And, nor should they, they were entitled to stick their noses into the trough, so thats that. Good luck to em!
People, get a grip!

The Above statement in Context
The CC alluded to in the above post were "positioning".In other words they were on duty and travelling to another port to operate another aircraft.In short the CC were required and were on duty(read "at Work").They would also have been suitably attired and not complained about that requirement.
Cross was not on duty but on holidays.She was on an FOC ticket.Her husband is not a Qantas employee and yet he complains about dress standards.If he paid for the ticket he would not have been questioned about his attire.
What do directors actually do?
Not bloody much is the definitive answer.
Many of these people are on several boards and collect substantial amounts from each directorship.
Being a director on any board is one of the greatest cons perpetrated on shareholders.
Its nothing more than the Magic Circle Mates Club with all the perks and vey little if any responsibility

How can you ever excuse such hypocrisy with stupid and unrealistic throw away lines like "if you want those perks then become a director"? That is the argument of the intellectually limited.
Behaviour such as this from executives of any organisation is a disgrace.
They should lead by example but instead are rubbing the employees noses in it. Forever fighting to lower employees allowances whilst greedily getting as much as they can from managerial rorts.
To have the stupidity to wear denim in First Class and have your kids in shorts in Business Class shows not only arrogance but poor judgement. Poor judgement is not something executives at any organisation should be demostrating so overtly.
No wonder there is such a degree of staff disenfranchisement.
