1973,

Here are the facts: to the date June 30 2011' Alan Joyce (CEO for your information) was paid $5m. This included a fixed salary of $2.04m + 2.2m short term benefits payments + bonuses. This is stated in the annual report dated September 7, 2011.

CORRECTION: I stated in my post that AJ got a 72% pay rise, it was actually a 71% pay rise, apologies to those who might have been offended. As for you 1973' my facts ARE CORRECT. iF YOU BOTHER TO LOOK AT THE RIGHT ANNUAL REPORT you might find that I am right. If you do not believe me, try Googling Alan Joyce Pay Rise and see what comes up. In fact I implore all or you interested in this subject to do the same. You might find there are quite a few stories related to this subject.

Still don't believe me, if any of you shareholders were present at the AGM ( I am pretty sure that you were not 1973) you would well remember the massive backlash from shareholders about this issue that was raised with the board).

The subject of QF and how it is run is indeed a controversial issue but nothing wrong with healthy debate. I am a LT Qantas employee and shareholder and from my perspective, I believethee fortunes of QAN are a direct result of who is running the show and the decisions that they have made. Numbers do not lie, current sp is miserable, dividends - non existent, future prospects - ??? If you are happy with the status Quo 1973 then good luck to you.
