Ann: Qantas Group Announces CEO Succession, page-12

Would have thought a competent CEO would have coped with, and developed business strategies to overcome that, core CEO responsibilities. Were it not for a then Federal LNP Govt handout of about $2.7 Bn plus other numerus concessions, then QAN s bankrupt. Optics were nauseating when he threw about 30% of his frontline workers to the kerbside, then awarded himself and several other anti-union hardliners, with obscene remunerations, and all those bonuses, enhanced by those buybacks. For the aggregate remuneration (ie all forms) of the QAN CEO over his tenure of 15 years, QAN is entitled to have an effective leader for all seasons, not just the good times, green woke, virtue signalling. Many other ASX listed companies got though the pandemic without the corporate welfare, and back to normal.
