And the provision of this pay rise he has gotten was that it be in stock options not in cash. Plus it all went ahead in early September not this weekend as the press reports. Probably brought it up at the AGM but was approved a while ago.

Also, apparently by satisfying 2 of the 3 unions it would cost about $300million + these 'guarantees' of work. Pretty certain the carbon tax rort will cost them a bit of money too. Sounds like handing out more money is impossible for Qantas.

Pilots protesting are working 16-17 hours a week, getting paid $230k a year, 6 weeks leave, 25 sick days & discounted travel. I would gladly work for that & won't complain at all.
