In one year alone he 'earned'/was paid many multiples more than the highest earning non-executive employees (senior pilots) earn in a 35 year career.

Surely now the board are at least asking questions of the senior executive…...

My reference was more that despite being paid many millions, the senior executives are presiding over deteriorating service levels and public opinion. Surely the board must be asking why the Qantas brand (and the CEO in particular although personally I don't normal utter his name and the brand in the same sentence) is suffering so much negative publicity and what's being done to turn that around - even if it's only out of curiosity.

Some more shuffling at JQ. Now that QF have made a motza from Jobkeeper and paid down $2.8b in debt, the executives are receiving their bonuses hence the reason Gareth Evans and Gerry Turner are cashing in. Embarrassingly M. Franzi the QF Safety Manager, a kid that has spent no practical time in any field other than sitting behind a desk, becomes JQ’s COO. Aagh well, got to hand it to Joyce - he doesn’t look after the customers or the broader Qantas staff, but he sure does look after his executives.

He will do exactly as he is told & ask no questions.

Talk about no accountability, the two people responsible for the current chaos, instead of fixing their monumental stuff up and mismanagement, gets promoted to another position.

chief operating officer Andrew Monaghan is now executive manager Group Safety, Risk and Security


Rachel Yangoyan (Executive Manager, Customer Experience & Operations) has been appointed to the newly-created role of executive manager aircraft programs, seeing in the new a321's and a220's


much back slapping going on, good job and bonusus all around.

Executive managers huh,as you say the back slapping never stops & they believe what a great job they are doing.
If they worked in a real business instead of a cost centre & their employment relied on customer feedback they too would have been on jobkeeper or tossed out on their useless ass.

Things are getting better he says! I guess there will be a manager somewhere eligible for a bonus now as -20 bags will be seen as a job well done.🤦‍♂️

Both of those are lesser roles. AM is a clear demotion, RY is sideways to less important role (ie one you can’t #### up too much and make the news).

Talent pool must be pretty shallow to be hanging on to them.

I think the talent pool is deep, management just prefer to surround themselves with incompetence and pliability. When was the last time someone was given an operationally complex management position because they actually know what they’re doing?

It’s ‘more reliable to feed $10 bills through a paper shredder than flying with Qantas’
Love seeing Joyce continue to cop it in the media. Surely something has to give sooner or later.

Here’s the thing - the shareholders and the Board of Directors are all making money. While they are making money, they won’t send the pint size CEO packing. None of the bad customer service or any other fault with the airline matters as long as it is making money. They could serve you turds on toast onboard, or make you sit in broken cane chairs in business class, or they could introduce excess baggage fees for anything over 1 kg and Joyce still won’t be rolled. He grounded the international side of the business, remember? He was the public and the shareholders hero.

If he bails in 12 months time his legacy will be;
- he personally earned between $120m and $150m during his 15 year tenure
- he successfully turned a once reputable legacy carrier previously known for impeccable safety standards and quality service into a half-baked ultra low cost carrier;
- he is (and deservedly) one of Australia’s most hated CEO’s. He wins pole position.

Sorry folks, the gnome is coated in teflon. As long as he makes people money (other than his employees) he won’t be going anywhere until HE is good and ready.

Strap in people, engineers from Qantas, Jetstar and Network are all going to the ballot box to have a vote for protected industrial action. 0,0,2,2% doesn't cut it. Still waiting on the 2018 $2k bonus and now the $5k bonus all tied to an EBA that expired 31Dec 2019. No bargaining in good faith, idiot managers. Sydney engineering is a toxic dumpster fire of poor management couple with a roster that is known by the company to be damaging to people mental health and well-being.

They say the bonuses will only be paid if employees don't do anything to damage the brand. It is hard to care about what they say, threatening to take something away from you that they haven't even given you is pathetic.

It would be a gas to see all LAMEs out on strike all at the same time across all the airlines.

Absolutely correct, sadly.

It’s a good thing for Alan that the same rule of thumb doesn’t apply to him. Otherwise he would never get his bonus.

I reckon 12 months to go and then the Irishman will bail on the back of his huge 2022/23 bonus. Then he will tick another ‘politically correct’ box and put Olivia Wirth in the big chair. He absolutely loves her. Another anti-staff and vindictive human being as CEO.

It has been said many times but would love to hear a conversation between her and Mr Wirth in regards to unions, employees, strikes and industrial relations.
