I posted this topic....
"this man deserves a medal", purely for it's amusing content of Alan Joyce copping a pie in the face.
Pure slapstick comedy in my opinion.
I'm not attacking his gender preferences nor his policy towards legal marriage for all regardless of sex. I don't give a rats rectum about any of this crap, just enjoying the sight of him with pie on his face.
Geez, if we cant have a laugh every now and again without dissecting the thread down to it's lowest common denominator, then it's a sad day.
So lighten up people and enjoy it for what it's worth !
I, like many other Australians do not like this man because of his arrogance, self importance and ruthless attitude shown towards Australian Qantas workers
He continually pats himself on the back for being such a good guy by getting Qantas out of the shit..... in reality, he achieved this by sacking a few thousand Qantas workers and also gained another four Hundred million dollars for the Qantas coffers in jet fuel savings due to the fall in world oil prices.
...... and then, continually puts his hand up for obscene pay rises in the order of around one million dollars.... not to mention his recent bonus of millions of bucks.
"Qantas boss Alan Joyce's annual pay soared to $12.96 million in the year to June 30 as he steered the airline to a record profit.
Mr Joyce was paid a cash bonus of $3.3 million in the year, and awarded shares worth $1.6 million, for exceeding the company's cost cutting targets, delivering on fuel costs and improving customer satisfaction.
That was a big jump from the previous year's $1.9 million cash bonus, and the main factor in Mr Joyce's total remuneration rising from the previous year's $11.9 million.
His base pay was $2.1 million - up from $2 million a year ago due to the end of a period in which he agreed to forego five per cent of base salary.
Mr Joyce also received about $6 million in shares awarded as long-term incentives in previous years."

......and who can forget this outrageous statement by Alan Joyce in 2012.
"QANTAS chief executive Alan Joyce has defended his $5 million salary and claimed aircrew get paid more on an hourly basis."
